本文使用中央研究院人文及社會研究中心提供的105年度全國客
家 人 口 暨 語 言 基 礎 資 料 調 查 ， 利 用 累 積 羅 吉 斯 迴 歸 (ordered logistic regression)，發現影響 6 到 15 歲客家學童客語能力的因素有以下幾個，第一:學童的爺爺奶奶外公外婆是客家人的個數，第二:學童使用的客語腔調，第三:學童居住地區的客家人口比例，第四:學童在日常生活中，學習或社交是否使用客語，第五:與父親用客家

藉由本篇研究，我們試圖探討何種因素會影響客家學童的客語能
力，希望能對客語保存貢獻一些心力。

This paper uses the National Hakka Population and Language Basic Data 2016 provided by Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences. We use ordered logistic regression to find the following factors affecting Hakka students’ Hakka language ability. First, the number of
grandparents are Hakka people. Second, the accent. Third, rate of Hakka population in the place of residence. Fourth, whether the child speak Hakka language when he (she) social or study. Fifth, the frequency of communication with father in Hakka language. Sixth, the frequency of communication with mother in Hakka language.
Through this study, we try to explore which factors will affect Hakka children’s Hakka Language Ability, and we hope to contribute some of our efforts to preserve Hakka language.
