As the result of language planning, half of the one hundred million Chinese ethnic minority nationality (EMN) population speak some variety of Putonghua (PTH) as a first or second language. This study utilizing an attitude/motivation battery and matched-guise procedure examined Kazak, Uygur and Yi subjects's ratings of PTH and EMN languages and twelve variables in PTH learning/using. Analyses of the results by one-way ANOVA and a paired-sample t test show that a) integrative orientation and impression of Beijing people are the best predictors of EMN's instrumental orientation, intensity and desire for learning and using PTH; b) length of PTH learning alone determines how easy EMN's feel in PTH use; c) levels of EMN's contact with the Han majority correlate with their ratings of PTH and EMN languages; and d) good impression of Beijing people correlates with higher ratings of PTH. The findings provide insights into the relationship between language attitudes and ethnic relations for language-policy makers and researchers worldwide.
