Hokkien in recent years has witnessed a gradual decrease in speaking population, which will accelerate the process of language endangerment. However, it is unaffordable not to cease Hokkien's decline because Hokkien possesses elements that distinguish it from others. From linguistic, cultural and community-based views, it is necessary to maintain Hokkien so that it will not disappear from any speaker's tongue. To achieve that, measures against its decay should be executed and reinforced, which will involve 4 types of aspects, namely personal, societal, governmental and crossnational. With these measures coming into effect, the revitalization of Hokkien will take place in a near future.
