The year 2022 will bring both an important anniversary and a new beginning. It will be the 30th anniversary of a collection of articles in the journal Language that helped consolidate and popularize the field of endangerment linguistics. And, it will also be the first year of the United Nations Decade of Indigenous Languages. This presentation will examine the intersection of these two events, in order to think through how linguists can contribute to the goals of the upcoming decade, and to positive interventions in the ongoing crisis of linguistic diversity around the world more generally. I will argue that a meaningful engagement in the UN Decade, and in support of languages more broadly, will require a critical re-examination of the precedents established 30 years ago, and of the impacts that endangerment linguistics has had. In particular, I will focus on endangerment linguistics as a discourse, rather than a field of practice. I want to suggest that as a discourse, endangerment linguistics has had harmful, though largely unintended, effects that work against the aims and practices of the field. I will describe these harms and how they are produced, and discuss options for dismantling and replacing language endangerment discourses, while maintaining some of the practices and goals of the field. I will also suggest that this rethinking of endangerment discourses will require sustained and good faith interdisciplinary dialog. As an anthropologist researching the intersections of race, colonialism, and language oppression, I will point out where I think some of those conversations could happen. ]]>

Tibet is linguistically diverse, home to up to sixty languages spoken by both Tibetans and other ethnic groups living in the region. With intensifying urbanization in the last ten years, this linguistic diversity is increasingly concentrated in cities. The challenges this poses for creating culturally vibrant cities and for sustaining the region’s linguistic diversity must be understood in the unique context of Chinese urbanization. In China, cities are not only sites where human populations are concentrated and sociocultural worlds transformed through shifts in economy, demography, and infrastructure. Chinese cities are also apparatuses of governance that allow for populations to be managed through the administrative transformation of territory. The unique nature of Chinese urbanization presents a number of risks to Tibet’s linguistic diversity—this presentation will focus on three. The first of these is policy—how the administration of ethnic populations in cities undermines linguistic diversity. The second is planning—how urban spaces erase linguistic diversity through practices of ‘ethnic branding’. The third is demography—how small linguistic minorities are pressured to assimilate to larger ethnic groups or the mainstream Han Chinese population. Meanwhile, Chinese cities also present opportunities for the maintenance of linguistic diversity in Tibet. Again, I focus on three. First is the existence of urban hubs—spaces for negotiating cultural continuity and creativity in cities. Second is the phenomenon of language brokerage in cities—the ways in which cities provide opportunities for multilingual individuals that can empower them and their community. The final opportunity for sustaining Tibet’s linguistic diversity afforded by cities is networks—the ways in which cities allow the formation of intra and cross-ethnic networks that can support linguistic diversity. The future of linguistic diversity in Tibet’s cities depends to a large extent on the way that these challenges are met and these opportunities are taken advantage of. This presentation will discuss these issues, based on both anthropological research in a variety of urban sites throughout Tibet, as well as a review of literature on the topic, and engagement with Tibetan language social media. ]]>

This presentation focuses on the links between place, song, and language in Tibet, examining how social diversity is represented in musical constructions of place, and how this impacts on the maintenance of that diversity – specifically, linguistic diversity – in Tibet. I take as my starting point the observation that Tibet is linguistically diverse, but culturally integrated, and that song played a crucial role in this integration. Many speakers of non-Tibetic minority languages across the plateau traditionally sang in Tibetan, giving the language the status of what I call a ‘singua franca’ – a sung, rather than spoken, common language. Lyrics in traditional Tibetan songs expressed visions of place and space that described, and ascribed positive value to, linguistic and other forms of social diversity in Tibet. These visions of place, encoded in song, and reproduced amongst Tibet’s diverse populations, including its linguistic minorities, were part of a broader ideological environment of ‘banal cosmopolitanism’ in pre-modern Tibet. Since the late twentieth century, however, the lyrics of Tibetan songs began to imagine space and place in terms of a national geobody - a bounded, internally homogenous unit populated by people that speak the same language, share a common history (of descent), and share the same identity. Importantly, language - the Tibetan language - is portrayed as the soul or life-force of this geobody. This new expression of place in song, focused on a national geobody enlivened by a single language, is part of a pervasive environment of ‘banal nationalism’ in Tibet that has placed Tibet’s linguistic minorities under significant assimilatory pressure. Now, instead of singing themselves into a place within the diverse Tibetan world, Tibet’s linguistic minorities are singing their own alienation from the national geobody. The region’s ‘singua franca’ has lost its function as a shared medium of exchange between diverse peoples, and has instead become a shibboleth for national belonging and boundary marking. In tracking this change, I will explore how visions of place in song contribute to the maintenance or suppression of linguistic and other forms of social diversity. ]]>

Manegacha is one of Tibet’s approximately sixty minority languages and is spoken by several thousand Tibetans living in four villages on the northeast Tibetan Plateau. Fieldwork conducted in early 2016 has confirmed earlier anecdotal evidence that the Manegacha-speaking community is currently shifting to Tibetan. Although this shift is taking place in all four villages, it is particularly pronounced in one community, where the majority of families have ceased speaking Manegacha to their children. Why has this community ceased transmitting the language while others are, for the most part, continuing to maintain it? This presentation will examine this issue by drawing on interviews with Manegacha-speakers in which they expressed language ideologies about ethnicity, community, and appropriate language use. Members in all Manegacha-speaking communities expressed language ideologies that are both amenable and hostile towards continued intergenerational language transmission. Not only are supportive and non-supportive ideologies expressed in all communities, they are also often expressed concurrently by the same individuals. In light of these persistent contradictions, I argue that the crucial difference leading to language shift in some Manegacha-speaking communities is the existence of social mobilization; language shift occurs when a community mobilizes around ideologies that undermine the language, not simply when such ideologies are present in the community, or even when they are strongly held. I therefore argue that understanding social mobilization, and its capacity to translate ideology into policy, is crucial for understanding language maintenance and shift. ]]>

Though the grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau may appear to be a natural ecosystem, an emerging consensus among a wide range of scholars now suggests that these alpine meadows are, in fact, an anthropogenic landscape, created and maintained by humans.

How is the relationship between a people's historical origins and their contemporary identity negotiated? This presentation examines this issue with a case study of the Dordo people. The Dordo live in several villages, known collectively as the Four Estates (khre tse bzhi), on the Northeast Tibetan Plateau. They speak two distinct languages - one Mongolic, the other Sinitic – and, for the most part, identify themselves as belonging to the Tibetan-dominated social and cultural environment around them. This paper explores recent controversies over the origins of the Dordo and the significance of this history for contemporary identity. A recently published book has overturned the prevalent, state-sponsored view that the Dordo have their origins in Mongolian soldiers who came to the area during the reign of Kublai Khan in the thirteenth century CE. The book's author suggests that the origin of the Dordo can, in fact, be traced further back to the migration of Tibetan soldiers some time around the eighth century CE. This antiquarian debate has become surprisingly controversial and divisive in contemporary Tibetan society, raising questions about not only who the Dordo are, but also how Tibetanness is defined. The Dordo now seemed to be faced with difficult choices regarding the relationship between history and identity, between linguistic and ethnic loyalty, and between Mongolness and Tibetanness. ]]>
