1. Introduction
The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road， better known as “One Belt， One Road” （abbre. OBOR） is a development strategy started by the Chinese government in 2013. It has made cross-border trade， infrastructure construction， new financial institutions hot topics. Meanwhile it is noted that there are nearly 50 official and national languages involved and this number reaches more than 200 if important minor and tribal languages are included （Tian， 2015）.
