Abstract
This paper focuses on the decline and death of indigenous languages with special reference to sampled languages used by indigenous communities in Kaski district, arguing that the indigenous language communities should be supported by the government for giving official status to their native languages, focused on formulation and implementation of education policies, and encouraged to insist on speaking their native languages. Together, the indigenous language communities need to collaborate with the government to curb all the issues related to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity in Nepal. Based on the findings and discussion of the study, the following recommendations have been made to preserve and promote linguistic diversity in Nepal: 1) The findings of the study concluded that documentation is one of the most important ways to preserve and promote indigenous languages; 2) The findings of this study concluded that both formal and informal languages classes can be effective to cover all types of age group indigenous language speakers; 3) It is recommended that language teachers should be provided with appropriate trainings to be good indigenous language teachers; 4) It is recommended that indigenous language groups should put pressure on the government for policy development and political advocacy for the preservation of indigenous languages; 5) The study suggested that indigenous language groups should be given language awareness programs occasionally in order to motivate them to use their native languages and then to preserve the linguistic diversity in Nepal; and 6) The study suggested that indigenous language communities need to get help of language researchers to address the issues related to indigenous language revitalization strategies.
Highlights
The importance of Environmentally Friendly Vehicles (EFVs) is emerging due to the world-wide concern for the depletion of petroleum and global climate change
After verifying the research question, "Does the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) difference between the gasoline vehicle and the hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) affect the HEV sales share?" we examine the subsequent question, "How much does a reduction in HEV‟s TCO contribute to an increased HEV sales share?" The sales share of the HEV is important to reducing greenhouse gases and fuel consumption in traffic
We observed that the TCO of both the gasoline vehicles and HEVs became close at around 3250 million won if both cars were retained for the same five years
Summary
The importance of Environmentally Friendly Vehicles (EFVs) is emerging due to the world-wide concern for the depletion of petroleum and global climate change. With the release of various models and due to their high fuel efficiency, the sales increased up to 350% in two years to sell 3543 HEVs by December 2012. In spite of the key advantages in fuel efficiency and low carbon dioxide emission, the sales of HEVs in the year 2019 only still accounted for 2.9% of the entire automobile sales due to their high prices and low horsepower. We analyze the automobile market penetration of HEVs in South Korea with the following questions: (1) Does the difference of total costs of ownership between gasoline vehicles and HEVs in the same automobile model affects HEV sales share?
