This peer-reviewed research article examines the dynamics of language shift and maintenance among Guangzhou Hakka families. Authored by Chunyan Zou, it provides an in-depth analysis of how inter-generational interactions and cultural practices contribute to the persistence or decline of the Hakka language. The article highlights the crucial role of elders in language transmission, explores socio-cultural influences on linguistic practices, and offers empirical insights into the challenges of preserving minority languages. Its findings are essential for understanding the broader context of cultural and language preservation, serving as a scholarly foundation for the digital repository’s narrative.
