Abstract
Implementation of creating new written languages for ethnic minorities started in a special historical period in China.Those newly created written languages of ethnic minorities played certain social and cultural functions and roles in different historical periods and promoted school education and anti-illiteracy education for ethnic minorities.In the new era,influenced by outside society and internal environment of ethnic minorities,some functions of newly created written languages are undermined.Nevertheless,the value and significance of newly created written languages are undeniable,and they are still playing positive roles which are irreplaceable by other written languages.
