加拿大文化 |
---|
加拿大是一个多语言国家,很多种语言在加拿大都有很多人口使用。包括了加拿大原住民(第一民族,因纽特人和梅蒂人等)的多种语言、各国移民带来的语言、当地方言和混合的语言。加拿大政府承认两种官方语言,即英语和法语,其中法語被定為「國語」,全國的通用语言則為英語。官方层面对法语的使用主要体现在加拿大国歌、英联邦皇室颂歌的前半段、荣誉制度和军事口令都是使用法语。加拿大政府各级机构同时提供英法两种语言的服务,亦鼓励新移民学习法语,支持法语学习和扶植法语文化。在各省之中,明确将法语作为第一语言的仅有魁北克一省,而其他省份虽然在公共场合下皆以英法双语标注所有标识,但并不广泛使用法语。英语的拼写方法以英国英语为准,但发音以美国英语为准,为行政和教育体系中所有科目的教学媒介语。
根据2016年的估计,以英语和法语为母语的加拿大人分别占56.0%和20.6%。[1]掌握英语的人口占到了总人口比例86.2%,而掌握法语的人口则约占29.8%。[2]在《官方语言法令》和《加拿大权利与自由宪章》第十六条中,英语和法语均被认可为官方语言,这意味着加拿大的所有法案均以两种语言颁布,政府机构也必须同时提供这两种语言的服务。在加拿大的行政区划中,魁北克仅以法语为官方语言,新不伦瑞克是唯一一个同时以英语和法语为官方语言的省,其它省均以英语为官方语言。
加拿大的语言多样性不仅体现在这两种官方语言上。大约610万加拿大人(约占全体加拿大人的18%)的母语或第一语言既不是英语也不是法语,通常这些人是第一代移民。大约有350万加拿大人无论在家庭还是在社会中通常不使用英语或法语。
加拿大也是许多种美洲原住民语的故乡,但使用人口占加拿大总人口的1%不到。除此以外,乌克兰语和粤语在加拿大也有超过50万人的使用人口。
