Mother Tongue by egbeagie(f): 1:13am On May 28, 2020 |
Chapter 1 Mother Tongue. Mother tongue is our grass root language. There are 520 languages in Nigeria. The language of our great grandmothers, grandmothers, our forefathers the ones that have been before us. There is a general language for a particular region or tribe but there are sole languages for each kindred, tribe or household. Most of the time, the mother tongue can be different from the other just by a few distances away. You discover that a household that lives 10 -20 houses away speak a different language. Though there has been a correlation with the happening at the tower of babel where the people because of their oneness in thoughts and language built a tower that there had to be an intervention. It was recorded that afterward they all were given utterances and began to speak different languages but we cannot for sure say that is the grass root of our mother tongue but you would agree it’s the genesis of different languages. One may lose his or her mother tongue and this is due to ignorance, environment, peers, background even education................ This is just a sneak peak of the special treat i have for you.
