The Minoritization of Languages in Singapore

Abstract

Singapore has always been an ethnolinguistically diverse society, and this diversity remains reflected in the country’s current population of about 3.7 million, which is officially 74.1 per cent Chinese, 13.4 per cent Malay and 9.2 per cent Indian. The remaining 3.3 per cent, classified by the government as ‘Others’, consists mainly of Eurasians, Europeans, Japanese and Arabs, among others (2010 Census of Population). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
