Why is Hakka recognized as a language by the United Nations?

Hakka is indeed a language recognized by the United Nations, and the international language code is ISO 639-3 hak.

The reason why it has such great influence is because this country is:

1, with a long history: Hakka took shape in the Southern Song Dynasty. On the basis of inheriting ancient Chinese, its pronunciation has changed regularly. Hakka used to be one of the main circulating languages in Lanfang and China. Once the "national language" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was widely used in its official documents. Because of the long-term closure, the inheritance of Hakka dialect once relied on a closed society that was not disturbed by the outside world and strict ancestral teachings passed down from mouth to mouth. With the development of society, the traditional closed society is disintegrated by rapid urbanization, and the traditional rules of inheriting Hakka are gradually abandoned in the information age, so Hakka has become one of the fastest declining languages in the world. In Taiwan Province Province, 1988 has a campaign to return my mother tongue. Later, the modern media of Hakka language was gradually developed, which enabled Hakka language to continue to be passed down in modern society. The birth and development of Hakka pop music and the appearance of language services in public life (such as radio and television, transportation services) have made Hakka gradually walk out of isolation, move towards modernization and integrate into the trend of the times.

2. Widely spread: Hakka dialect is the mother tongue of Han Hakkas (including Hakkas in eastern Guangdong, Shui Yuan in Dongjiang, Cantonese in western Guangdong, and Cantonese in Sichuan), which is widely distributed in the southeast coast, southern and western provinces, northern Hong Kong New Territories, Taiwan Province Province, and overseas Hakka immigrant areas (such as Singapore, Matai, Indonesia, Europe and America).

3. Cultural identity: The most unique feature of Hakka dialect is the ethnic identity of Hakka people, which connects mainland provinces and even global Chinese areas. Hakka people, whether in Guangdong and Fujian on the mainland, or in Taiwan Province Province, Malaysia and Indonesia, will regard each other as "fellow villagers" or "members of their own family" as long as they can speak Hakka and adhere to the characteristics of "never forgetting their ancestral words". People who can't speak Hakka and have no Hakka identity, even if they have Hakka ancestry, are generally regarded as Hakka descendants, not Hakka. This feature of Hakka dialect leads other ethnic groups to learn Hakka dialect in areas with a majority of Hakka people in order to win the recognition of Hakka people. In Taiwan Province Province and Malaysia, it is more and more common for politicians to learn Hakka dialect in order to gain the support of Hakka people, especially during the election campaign.
