Research Abstract |
On the basis of the concept of "prestige language" and "common language", we attempt to reconstruct the interpretation of the 16~19th century Asian history from an angle of multi-cultural communities which represented the cultural identities of these areas. And in this study, we demonstrated two cultural areas. One is the “prestige language” such as Chinese and Arabic language areas which had been reconstructed to “common language”, and the other, such as Malay and Persian language areas-the conventional “prestige language” which were in crisis of colonization, had been replaced by the new common languages-Indonesian, Indian indigenous languages, and English.
