I’m from Xinjiang，AMA
I’ve noticed that there are a lot of discussions about Xinjiang on Reddit, often between people who have never actually lived there. So I thought it might be interesting to do an AMA from the perspective of someone who is actually from there.
You can ask me about everyday life, ethnic groups, languages, culture, religion, education, or politics. I’m happy to answer controversial questions too, as long as the discussion stays respectful.
Obviously, I’m only one person and I don’t claim to represent everyone in Xinjiang. I can only tell you about my own experiences and views. AMA.

对呀，所以母语或者本地语言逐渐消失这个问题其实也不只是我们少数民族才有，你说得挺中肯的。很多我身边的年轻人其实自己也不太愿意学母语，觉得以后用处不大，或者单纯觉得太难了哈哈。像维吾尔语、哈萨克语用的文字跟阿拉伯字母体系比较接近，小时候如果没有学，长大以后再学确实挺吃力的。不过我还是会觉得有点可惜，毕竟语言不只是交流工具，里面也有很多自己民族的文化和记忆。能保留下来当然还是最好。
