This paper focuses on the linguistic evolution of the Tianjin speech
community in Sabah, Malaysia. From the perspective of restructuring of
speech community, the paper integrates both micro and macro levels of Speech Tianjin
language change into the analysis. Several methods were adopted in this community dialect
study. Interviews were conducted with community leaders and various
families. Besides, an ethnographic approach is taken to observe
language use in different activities within the community. In total, 17
Tianjiners were interviewed who were from four generations (G3, G4, Linguistic Sabah
G5, and G6) and several community activities were participated. Despite evolution
all the social changes within the community, the Tianjin people (also
known as northern Chinese) still manifest a strong group identity which
differentiate themselves from southern Chinese, such as Hakka in
Sabah. The strong group identification goes well with its diversity,
which is one of the characteristics of the Tianjin speech community.
