Importance of Mother Toungue 

Learning to speak in the mother tongue is very important for a child’s overall development. Being fluent in the mother tongue, which is also known as the native language, benefits the child in    many ways. It connects him to his culture, ensures better intellectual development, and aids in the learning of other languages.   

A child’s first comprehension of the world around him, the learning of concepts and skills, starts with the language that is first taught to him. Mother language has such an important role in framing our thinking and emotions.

Mother language has a very powerful impact in the formation of the individual. Our first language, the beautiful sounds which one hears and gets familiar with before being born while in the womb, has such an important role in shaping our thoughts and emotions. A child’s psychological and personality development will depend upon what has been conveyed through the mother tongue.

Let all the people value their mother toungue

There are many who completely do not know their mother tongue anymore. But they still want to be numbered among those who speak a certain language. These are those who are like (e.g) a food product which are not genuine that can be seen outwardly and lack of taste or qualities in itself

Keep on using our mother tongue in speaking, reading and writing correctly. And even we are responsible to promote it. Younger generation should humbly be attentive to the teaching guidance of the older generation who have been well-versed in their mother tongues. In addition to learning the mother tongues, there is the possibility of learning the proverbs and the saying in the past which are very much supportive to the morality and behavior of the present generation.

Speaking of learning the mother tongues, there have been people in certain places who selflessly and eagerly taught their  mother tongue to the younger ones for the good of the future generation.

Most possibly, due to globalization (e.g easy communication in English) there can be a threat of losing one’s own mother tongue. It can be considered as unimportant especially among the younger generation as they live in the places where their mother tongue is rarely used.    

On the other hand, there is a great advantage of teaching, learning and using one’s own mother tongue by making use of different means of communication and social media.  

RVA is an important means for safeguarding and promoting the mother tongues of 21 languages. Although it is the only means of the Catholic Church especially in Asia for broadcasting evangelical and human development programs to all the people, regardless of their faith, cultures and races, it is really an important means from which people are accessible to the various messages in their own mother tongues. In addition, the program providers are blessed to have the opportunities to learn, to maintain, to improve their mother tongue and to produce the qualified program in their mother tongues.

It is our legacy, it is our birthright which is inherited to us from our older generation. Everyone is responsible to value and safeguard for the sustenance  of ones mother tongue.
