Yi nationality is one of the most widely distributed ethnic minorities in China. Although Chinese is the official language of the whole people, the protection and inheritance of minority languages is an important part of China's cultural diversity. Therefore, how to protect and explore You Ke Yi language and other minority languages is of great significance to the protection of China and even the world cultural heritage.
Although the number of people using the Yi language in You Ke is small, in recent years, all parties are calling for strengthening the research and protection of the language. The government, scholars and non-governmental organizations are working hard to promote Yi culture and language, especially to increase the teaching of minority languages in school education. I believe that with such efforts, You Ke Yi language and other minority languages will be better inherited and developed.
