<> minor languages generally refer to certain Asian and African languages, such as Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, and so on. These languages were once considered relatively niche, difficult to learn, and less important for a while, so they were once considered relatively unpopular majors. However, with the acceleration of globalization and the development of information technology, the importance of these languages has gradually been recognized.
In the past, learning a minority language used to be a popular choice for many people. Today, however, the field is undergoing a transformation that has become a sinkhole in the eyes of many. First of all, with the acceleration of globalization, most countries and regions have begun to pay attention to the study of English, and English has become the universal language.
This has led to a gradual decline in interest in learning a minority language for many people. Because they think that learning English will solve most of the language problems in international communication. This has also led to fewer and fewer employment opportunities for minor language majors, and the employment prospects for students are not clear enough, which is one of the reasons why many people are reluctant to choose minor languages.
Secondly, due to the difficulty of learning minority languages, students may encounter many difficulties and challenges in the learning process. The grammar and expressions of minor languages are very different from Chinese, which requires students to put more effort and time into the learning process. For many students, they prefer to choose an easier major in order to achieve better grades and employment opportunities.
Therefore, this is one of the reasons why many people are reluctant to choose a small language. Finally, the cost of learning a small language is also relatively high. Learning a minor language requires a lot of time and money, for example, learning a foreign language requires purchasing relevant learning materials, attending training courses, and so on.
This can be an unbearable burden for students whose families are not in a good financial situation. To sum up, the minor language major is undergoing a transformation, and many people's interest in it is gradually declining. The reasons for this shift include the increasing status of English in the process of globalization, the difficulty and cost of learning.
However, despite the uncertainty of the future of minority languages, there is still value in learning them for those who aspire to become language experts or work in specific industries.

The characteristic is that in the four years of college, except for a Chinese teacher who left after two months of soy sauce, there are only foreign teachers in professional courses. There are very few textbooks, there are few books in the library, and I can't find homework on the Internet if I can't write it. There are relatively few people who know this language, and every time I go home, there are always people who think that I learned Uyghur, who makes the letters look too similar.
Everything in the world is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee you a way out; Something that was really hot and popular, maybe when you were still a little bit away from repairing it, it suddenly cooled down and no one cared about it, or the unpopular goods that no one cared about suddenly became a hot item overnight; Catch you off guard;
In fact, whether it is reading, or thinking, learning language, the so-called superiority is constructed by oneself to the point of boredom, and it has no meaning at all.
All in all, my first feeling is that I feel very lucky: I have the opportunity to learn different languages and touch different worlds. The influence of language on the way of thinking is decisive
It's nice to be able to think differently, it's nice to see different people's views on the same thing, and to prevent narrow-mindedness. And sometimes I just think haha, I'm pretty good, hahaha, entertaining myself.
It is really not easy to learn a small language, when others go to participate in club activities in college, you can only go to self-study, when others enjoy the free time in college, you have more classes so that you are like a high three, but when you use the language you learn in your work, when you can see more of the world, you will have a great sense of accomplishment and sincerely thank yourself for your efforts and perseverance in the past! Come on, everyone!
Finally, I would like to conclude with a quote that I like very much: language is an art, and only when science has reached the end can we see its back.
-
The people around you will find it very strange, and they will not like it, and they will oppose you learning the language, and even obstruct it, and they will make fun of it.
-
It's a particularly good experience because it's a language that no one else knows about, and it's very useful.
-
It is a particularly wonderful experience, in fact, it still feels very fresh and interesting when learning, because I have not been exposed to it before, but because it is an unpopular language, I have no chance to use it in daily life.
-
It is a good experience, because learning a language is also conducive to one's better development in the future, and it can be regarded as a way out for oneself in the future.

What was once a popular small language turned into a sinkhole, probably due to several reasons:
1.Limited scope of use: Some minor languages are limited in scope and are only used in specific regions or industries.
With the development of globalization and the popularization of information technology, the use of some large languages (such as English, Chinese, etc.) has gradually expanded, while the use of some small languages has been relatively reduced, resulting in the decline of the use value of small languages.
2.High cost of learning: Learning a small language requires a lot of time and effort, and there are relatively few learning resources and opportunities. For some, the cost of learning a small language is too high to be worth the time and effort.
The development of these technologies has reduced the necessity and value of learning minority languages.
4.Social changes: With the changes in society, the use value of some small languages has also changed. For example, the gradual disappearance of some traditional crafts and cultural activities has led to a decline in the use value of the relevant minority languages.
To sum up, the once popular small language has become a sinkhole, which may be due to a variety of factors such as limited scope of use, high learning costs, the development of translation technology and social changes. Although the use value of minority languages has declined, the importance of protecting and inheriting minority languages still exists, and we need to work together to protect and pass on these precious languages and cultures.

In order to regain the attractiveness of these majors, colleges and universities need to adjust their curricula in a timely manner to enhance students' professional literacy and comprehensive language skills. To help students better adapt to the changes in the global language environment and the changing needs of social talents. The first point. Societal needs change.
With the globalization of the economy and the advancement of science and technology, the demand for language talents in society is also changing. The utility of some minor languages has declined, while the importance of mainstream languages such as English has risen. This has affected the job market for minor language majors.
The second point. Student expectations drop. Minor language majors used to be popular with students because of their good employment prospects, but with the changes in market demand and employment shortage, students' expectations for this major have gradually declined.
Many people choose mainstream majors, which also weakens the appeal of minor language majors. The third point. The curriculum can't keep up.
Some colleges and universities have not adjusted their curriculum and teaching content in a timely manner, and have not kept up with the changes in society and the market. The curriculum is too theoretical and traditional and does not meet the practical needs of businesses, which also affects students' employability and job adaptability. Fourth point.
There is an oversupply of small languages. The minor language major was opened earlier, and there were fewer students in the past, and the employment prospects were better. But in recent years, the number of students in these majors has surged, there is a serious surplus, and competition for jobs has become increasingly fierce.
Fifth point. Global impacts. With the development of globalization, the scope of use of some traditional minority languages has been compressed.
For example, in Southeast Asian countries, users of small languages are now more inclined to use English. This weakens the motivation and prospects for learning these minority languages. Therefore, if students want to choose a major, they should consider the needs and trends of the market, not just interests and hobbies.
For colleges and universities, they should also seriously think about the development strategy of minor language majors. On the one hand, we can consider cooperating with foreign universities to carry out cross-cultural communication and teaching projects to improve the internationalization level and influence of minority language majors. On the other hand, diversified teaching models can be explored, and emerging educational technologies and methods can be introduced to provide students with a better educational experience and employment prospects.

The history of linguistics is very ancient. The earliest linguistic studies of mankind began with the interpretation of ancient texts, and the study of language was the study of philosophy, history, and literature. During the Han Dynasty, China produced primary schools, including writing, phonology, and exegesis.
In India and Greece, grammar was established in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. Modern linguistics was established in the early 18th century, as Western linguists discovered similarities between Indo-European languages and Sanskrit, giving rise to historical comparative linguistics, which aimed to find the original languages of various languages.
