Abstract

Indigenous languages in Bangladesh are rapidly declining because they are excluded from formal education and public domains, threatening cultural identity and social cohesion. This study aims to examine how educational and institutional barriers contribute to indigenous language loss among ethnic communities. A mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with ethnic minorities, teachers, and community leaders, was employed to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The results reveal that indigenous languages lack representation in schools because of the absence of textbooks, trained teachers, and government support. Communities face cultural and educational exclusion because children are forced to learn in Bengali, leading to high dropout rates and loss of native languages. The study highlights the urgent need for bilingual education and policy reforms. Its impact lies in offering practical recommendations to policymakers and educators for preserving linguistic diversity and promoting inclusive education that supports ethnic communities in Bangladesh.

Abstract

This paper investigates the declining use of ethnic minority languages in Bangladesh over the last decade (2013–2023), with particular attention to the role of education in accelerating or mitigating this trend. Using a statistical approach supported by field data, the study examines language shift patterns across various regions, educational levels, and policy changes. Findings reveal a steady decline in the use of indigenous languages, exacerbated by national curricula that prioritize Bengali and English, as well as the lack of multilingual teacher training. Educational policies often neglect the linguistic rights of minority communities, leading to reduced intergenerational language transmission. The paper argues that integrating indigenous languages into school systems, providing culturally responsive materials, and training bilingual educators could reverse the trend. The study contributes both quantitative evidence and policy recommendations for revitalizing endangered languages in education and beyond.
