Jammu and Kashmir National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah on the annual observance of International “Mother Language Day” impressed upon the people to take privilege to speak in their native languages.
In his message Dr Farooq Abdullah while highlighting the importance of native languages said that “learning to speak in ones native languages is very essential for a child’s overall development.
Being fluent in the mother tongue, benefits the child in many ways. It connects him to his or her culture, ensures better cognitive development, and aids in the learning of other languages.”
“Kashmiri language is known for its richness, particularly for its poetry, maxims and other literary aspects. Kashmiri language boasts a plethora of other peculiar literary aspects which are indigenous to our land and reflective of the originality and creativity of our people,” he added.
