In addition, the difference in the language and event in the family between Chinese and international marriage families was observed and the extent of a development of language had an influence on the establishment of identity. Hereafter, while the nationality of parents and roots diversifies, this survey is continued. To examine the diversity of children carefully, namely, to make the accuracy high is an issue in the future.
