本篇研究探討在美國的華裔族群保留族語與內婚的關聯性。以往東亞裔通婚研究通常忽略族語在內婚中的角色。這篇研究使用2012年3年期美國社區調查（American Community Survey, ACS），探討美國華裔人口中族語與內婚的關聯性。將樣本區分美國出生以及美國境外出生的華人，並比較男女差異。該研究發現，族語的保留與通婚具有相當密切的關聯，不論其出生地為何。再者，結果也顯示，英語流暢度對於境外出生的華裔的內婚有顯著影響，遠大於對美國出生者。

This study investigates the association between ethnic language retention and endogamy amongst Foreign-born and U.S.-born Chinese. Previous East Asian intermarriage research has typically omitted the role of ethnic language in endogamy. This study draws on data from 2010’s 3-year American Community Survey to understand the influence of ethnic language on endogamy amongst both, foreign-born and U.S.-born Chinese. Sample participants are separated based on birthplace and gender for the logistic regression model analysis. The findings identify a high correlation between ethnic language and endogamy, regardless of birthplace. However, the findings highlight English language fluency has a greater influence on endogamy amongst foreign-born Chinese than their U.S.-born counterparts.
