Acculturation is a type of ethnocide.​

Acculturation refers to the process of adopting or incorporating the cultural beliefs and practices of a dominant group, while still retaining some aspects of one's original culture. Ethnocide, on the other hand, involves the deliberate destruction of a particular ethnic group's culture and way of life. While acculturation can sometimes lead to the loss or erosion of certain cultural practices, it is not necessarily the same as ethnocide as it does not involve the intentional destruction of a culture.
