“…Ideally, children follow the instructions, commands, and fulfill their expectations mostly without any argument. Children tend to see parental control as a reflection of parental warmth (Chowdhury & Rojas‐Lizana, 2020). Bangladeshi families prefer to retain their culture with the goal to keep their family bonding strong.…”

Background: Suicide is a public health problem that gets little attention in Bangladesh especially in prevention aspects. Recent studies revealed that a significant portion of risk factors is closely related to family events. However, potential prevention strategies considering the family structure and involving family dynamics of Bangladesh have not been discussed. Objectives:We aim to highlight areas of family vulnerability and resilience when the threat of suicide is present, as well as the potential roles of family in suicide prevention in Bangladesh. Methods:We conducted a thorough narrative and focused literature search and synthesized evidence based on available articles discussing suicidality and family dynamics in Bangladesh.Results: Risk factors for suicide prevailing in the family have been organized, and several strategies for coping with family risk factors, including marital discord and family conflict have been proposed for testing empirically. Conclusions:The family has an important role to play in suicide prevention in Bangladesh. However, potential prevention strategies and their effectiveness have been untapped in the country. Studies are warranted to test the effectiveness of the proposed strategies.

“…This may also interact with parents' sex. For instance, a study of Bangladeshi speaking parents in Australia found that those whose mothers taught them the language developed full literacy whereas those whose fathers taught them only developed verbal fluency (Chowdhury & Rojas-Lizana, 2021). Moreover, literacy may differ between those who learn languages simultaneously rather than sequentially.…”

Lovers in interracial couples are more likely to have different heritage languages and first languages than same-race couples, and Multiracials are the offspring of interracial couples. As such, Multiracials’ linguistic socialization likely differs from that of monoracials. Our study examined the influence of ethnoracial socialization on monoracials’ and Multiracials’ linguistic knowledge and the influence of language and ethnoracial identity on individuals’ interpersonal relationships. We hypothesized that monoracials would be more likely to know their heritage language than Multiracials, that linguistic knowledge would differ between interminority Multiracial groups and half-White Multiracial groups, and that linguistic knowledge would be associated with the formation of both friendships and romantic relationships. Our sample included nearly a thousand students from a university in California. We found that monoracial minorities were more likely to be multilingual than both interminority Multiracials and half-White Multiracials. East Asian participants who spoke an East Asian language had a higher proportion of East Asian friends. Among Multiracials, Wasians and Latinasians who spoke an East Asian language primarily dated someone East Asian, Latinasians who spoke a Latin American language primarily dated someone Hispanic, and monolinguals of both groups were the ones most likely to date someone White. These findings suggest that linguistic knowledge plays a significant role in a community's social dynamics, affecting monoracials' and (especially) Multiracials' interpersonal relationships.

“…La scelta di mantenere la lingua d'origine da parte delle famiglie migranti è complessa e legata a molteplici aspetti, quali le percezioni dei vantaggi che questo comporta (ad es. la comunicazione con la famiglia d'origine, nuove conoscenze e capacità di vita, il patrimonio culturale), la facilità di accesso e interazione con la comunità d'origine (Chowdhury & Rojas-Lizana, 2020;Szilagyi & Szecsi, 2020), o il ricordo della propria esperienza di apprendimento, come emerge nell'estratto qui riportato (partecipante ID 1; Tab. 1) I: Voi ci tenete che lui parli la vostra lingua?…”

Identity And Language Of Moldovan Mothers Emigrated To Italy. The present study investigates family-related language practices of Moldovan mothers emigrated to Italy, through a semi-structured interview. To date, few studies have considered linguistic choices in relation to educational practices and identity aspects in this population. Ten Moldovan woman have been interviewed. Results from a thematic analysis on the collected interviews has highlighted a complex relationship between identity, language and education: the use of the mother tongue or the «new» language appeared intertwined with the historical and political events of the country of origin, with consequences on the different use of languages in domestic contexts, through specific choices or «code-mixing»; or in extended family contexts. With their children, the language of origin is predominant, although the practices adopted to promote it are often mediated by TV. Overall, the findings confirm the interdependent nature of the cultural, social and identity aspects that influence language practices in migrant families from Moldova; at the same time, the selective use of these practices within different contexts and relationships has consequences for their children’s educational experiences.
