“…Linguistic knowledge also enables bilinguals to directly engage in the culture's practices, including religious, artistic, medical, dietary, and political activities. By learning about and participating in a culture via language use, bilinguals may come to identify more with the culture (or potentially less with the culture depending on their perspective of the culture's beliefs and practices) (Brown, 2009). …”

Most of the world's population has knowledge of at least two languages. Many of these bilinguals are also exposed to and identify with at least two cultures. Because language knowledge enables participation in cultural practices and expression of cultural beliefs, bilingual experience and cultural identity are interconnected. However, the specific links between bilingualism and cultural identity remain largely unidentified. The current study examined which aspects of bilingualism relate to identification with first- and second-language cultures. Two-hundred-and-nine bilinguals completed a questionnaire probing linguistic background and cultural affiliations. Regression analyses indicated that cultural identification was predicted by age of language acquisition, language proficiency, foreign-accentedness, and contexts of long-term language immersion and current language exposure. Follow-up analyses revealed that the language-culture relations were mediated by the age and manner in which the second language was acquired. These findings are situated within a proposed framework of bilingual cultural identity. By identifying features of bilingualism that are relevant for cultural identity, the current research increases our understanding of the relationship between language and culture.

“…The HL research on Korean Americans and Chinese Americans has highlighted important correlations between HL proficiency and positive ethnic identity identification (Brown, 2009;He, 2006;You, 2005). Proficient HL speakers felt more comfortable in social interactions with other HL speakers and a greater sense of social belonging (Cho, 2000;He, 2006;Joo, 2009).…”

Ethnic identity is important in cultural inheritance. In border areas, there are often mixing of two different ethnic groups. The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of the ethnic identity of Sundanese and Javanese adolescents in the border region. The subjects in this study were two group of students from one High school in Ciamis, a border area between West Java and central Java. They were members of the Javanese and Sundanese ethnic groups (N=60). The instrument used is the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) scale developed by Phinney (1992). Result shows that the two ethnic groups have almost the same sense of ownership, but they are low in exploring their ethnicity.
