Why have small languages become "tiankeng"

For the post-70 s and post-80 s, they have all experienced the "small language fever". In layman's terms, "minor languages" refer to languages other than English. Let me talk about some reasons why "small languages" have become "tiankeng":

Low utilization rate

As fewer and fewer people speak these small languages, their usage rate will decrease and their employment prospects will be worrying.

Binary opposition

Either it is a pit, or it is not, there is no third possibility, or it is a gray area between black and white, regardless of other factors besides the characteristics of the language itself, including personal factors, urban factors, school factors, regional factors and so on.

Definition of pit

According to most people's ideas, this "pit" can be defined as "I can't find a job in my major after graduation". This involves the differences between different languages.

personal element

Such as personal factors. When I graduated, I had many opportunities to work in a state-owned enterprise in Africa, work in an international radio station, and stay in school as a teacher, but I didn't want to, so the employment difficulties brought about by this actually have my own reasons, and I can't completely blame the major itself.

Fluctuation of employment situation

The employment situation of minority languages also fluctuates. As I said before, the setting of many small languages is mainly due to the consideration of national strategy.
