民族文化研究

少数民族的语言与文化是紧密结合的。因此，SIL 东亚部的研究人员们对当地文化的研究也有着相当浓厚的兴趣。研究范围包括调研当地居民传统风俗习惯、收集整理民间故事和谚语、以及撰写人类学论文。

Cultural Research

The languages of ethnic minorities are intimately bound up with their cultures, and so our members are also interested in studying the cultures of the groups where they live. This research includes investigations into the traditional customs of the people, collecting folk stories and proverbs, and writing ethnographic papers.
