How to treat children's unwillingness to speak dialects?

Dialects are not only spoken less by children, but actually less from generation to generation. I basically speak a specific language at home, and many people use it. I don't think it's called dialect anymore. Children here can still speak dialects in their daily lives, but now what children don't want to speak dialects is only part of what you see. This paper is divided into the following parts:

The reasons why children choose whether to speak dialects.

The first part | The reasons why children choose whether to speak dialects.

I think the reason why some children don't want to speak dialects now is:

Education requires children to have correct Mandarin pronunciation from an early age.

Due to geographical reasons, there are foreigners in the children's living environment.

Learning difficulties, no dialect courses, and not much contact with dialects at ordinary times.

However, there are still many children who are willing to speak dialects for the following reasons:

Language habits and dialects may express emotions more accurately.

Easy to communicate, some seniors are not very fluent in Mandarin.

Strong sense of identity, living in a dialect atmosphere since childhood.

There are thousands of languages, and children are taught knowledge of Chinese and English from an early age. Therefore, children who can't speak dialects have a lot to do with parents and schools.

Moreover, it seems that not being able to speak dialects has little effect on our daily life. Many parents of children and the elderly at home can accept Mandarin and English. Ignore the inheritance of dialects without affecting life. After all, many dialects have no written norms.

Part II | Obstacles for Contemporary Children to Learn Dialects

For our generation, dialects are only enough for our daily communication. It takes a lot of effort to speak them as fluently and accurately as Mandarin, especially for children nowadays. Dialects are occasionally mixed with Mandarin and English. As a child who grew up in Mandarin and English, there are also some obstacles. We need to know what hinders the pace of learning and inheriting dialects from generation to generation:

First, there is a lack of local dialect courses.

Children mainly accept Putonghua and English in class, but have a dispensable attitude towards dialects, which directly makes children and parents fall into the loophole of not paying attention to dialects. If several generations do not pay attention to the study of dialects, our dialects may even be lost in the end.

Second, there is a lack of dialect records and writing norms.

If most of our dialects are standardized in sound and meaning, expand the "other side" of Chinese and show the profound charm of Chinese, then more education and inheritance will be carried out, which is lacking now.

Third, bad regional evaluation and related bad comments

In terms of public opinion, different regions have different dialects and accents. Many people forget that dialect is also one of our profound Chinese in order to speak Mandarin well so as not to become "accented" in other people's mouths. Therefore, bad regional evaluation will also become an obstacle for children to learn dialects.

Part III | Learning and Inheriting Precious Dialect Culture

To sum up, we should realize the importance of learning and inheriting dialect culture. If we ignore the inheritance of dialects again and again, with the passage of time, dialects may become an ancient history engraved in our minds.

In order to prevent our dialect from becoming "history", what we can do is to record and standardize dialects, carry out dialect inheritance courses when necessary, and control the good public opinion orientation of dialect inheritance.
