Abstract

The language diversity in Inner Mongolia belongs to the performance of ethnic diversity and cultural diversity in the region. How its social recognition directly affects the integration and development of politics, economy and culture in the region. At the same time, it will also affect the national emotion and language and culture protection work to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the study of local language diversity, carry out targeted cultural preservation work and language education work, and maximize the elimination of the "negative" impact of language diversity on the basis of not affecting language and culture preservation, so as to lay a good language foundation for the rapid and high-quality development of the region.
