This study explores how immigrant families in Saskatchewan, mainly of Asian and African origins, transmit their mother tongue in an environment where English and French dominate. Drawing on theories of language transmission and cultural identity, we examine the motivations, strategies and challenges encountered by these families in the process of language transmission. Our objectives are to describe the contexts of mother tongue use, identify the transmission strategies used, examine the impact of these strategies on the construction of cultural identity in children, and compare the experiences of Asian and African families to determine similarities and differences. Ultimately, this research aims to provide valuable insights into how language choices within immigrant families affect the preservation of their cultural identity, while offering recommendations for supporting linguistic and cultural diversity in Canada. In addition, it offers insights into how immigrants transmit their languages in a very multicultural environment like Canada.","abstract_html":"Language transmission among immigrants in a bilingual and multicultural country like Canada is crucial to preserving cultural identity and maintaining intergenerational ties.
