ABSTRACT
Uyghur is generally used in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so the Uyghur language used in this topic refers to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Through the investigation of Metro Line 1, this paper analyzes from the perspectives of language code orientation, language harmony, consensus comparison, and questionnaires. It is found that Urumqi Metro Line 1 is mainly composed of Chinese (in this paper, when we talk about Chinese which means mandarin, the national language in China) and Uygur languages. Chinese occupies a dominant position in multi-language signage, Uygur language is relatively inferior, and English is relatively weak. And other national languages do not appear on all kinds of signs. Through the investigation and research on the language landscape of Line 1, this paper puts forward the urban language usage in Urumqi. Some suggestions contribute to the construction of beautiful Urumqi.
