Abstract
In this article I describe the written language situation of China's minority peoples, and deal in particular with script reforms and the creation of new scripts after the People's Republic was founded in 1949. In spite of great efforts made by minority researchers and administrators, the new and reformed scripts have had little success, and the possible reasons for this are discussed. Extensive information on the minority languages of China is given in appendices to the article.
