Abstract—The charm of a nation’s culture and the cohesion of its people are primarily expressed and transmitted through language. As a vital carrier of cultural heritage and national unity, language embodies the cultural allure and centripetal force of a nation. In this context, the translation and overseas
dissemination of China’s domestic academic works hold significant strategic importance for enhancing national cultural confidence and strengthening the country’s cultural soft power. This study focuses on the international promotion of ethnic language history, systematically reviewing its developmental trajectory and current status. By employing a dual-dimensional approach that combines diachronic and synchronic perspectives, as well as integrating quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study delves into the primary obstacles and underlying causes faced during its overseas dissemination. Building on this analysis, the research aims to construct an academic discourse system for ethnic language history with Chinese characteristics and explore practical pathways for international promotion, thereby showcasing the unique theoretical contributions and practical wisdom of Chinese ethnic language studies to the global academic community.
Keywords—academic translation, ethnic language history, international dissemination
