Hearing your mother tongue spoken evokes a deep sense of pride and reaffirms the significance of your heritage and roots. From birth onward, the mother tongue shapes one's identity and understanding of the world. Therefore, it is crucial for children to receive their education in their native language. When taught in a language other than their mother tongue, a person's ability to learn and connect meaningfully with the material is often compromised.

From epic folklores whispered in children's ears to robust debates at the town hall, our mother tongues and local accents are more than just means of communication - they serve as the carriers of our culture and a glue that holds together our communities. Yet, social and economic factors and technological innovations have impacted the decisions within individual families about the level of their children's exposure to the language of their community. How, then, will the advent of Artificial Intelligence contribute to the protection or obliviation of mother languages? On the show: Laiming, Niu Honglin & Steve Hatherly

Overview: In this episode, Christine looks at the relationship between language, identity, and communication, sharing a story about her night with Wu-Tang. She also tells us how the Irish language was “battered out of” people with a special type of stick. As you celebrate International Mother Language Day, reflect on the significance of languages in shaping our perceptions, experiences, and cultural heritage.Christine Considers: Language and Identity: Language is not just a means of communication; it is deeply intertwined with our sense of self. But when does language shape our identity? Is it only our “mother tongue” or do second languages play a part?International Mother Language Day: Originating from the sacrifices made in Bangladesh in 1952 to preserve their language, this day emphasises the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.Neuroscience of Language: Research in neuroscience reveals how language shapes our thoughts and perceptions. From colour perception to concepts of agency and ownership, language influences how we experience the world.Bilingualism and Identity: Bilingual professionals often face pressure to conform to native English standards. Embracing linguistic diversity fosters understanding and inclusivity.Challenging Linguistic Divides: It's crucial to challenge societal attitudes that undermine linguistic diversity. By opening conversations and embracing curiosity about different languages and cultures, we promote solidarity and tolerance.Core Identity: Despite language adaptations, does our core identity remain unchanged? It's the essence of who we are, often transcending linguistic boundaries.Support the Podcast: https://bit.ly/Connected_CommunicationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/connected_communication Hosted on Acast.

I strongly believe that a bill openly acknowledging and committing to protect all mother languages is one strategy to addressing and rectifying decades of shameful acts committed against First Nations, Inuit, Métis and non-status Indigenous peoples, the detrimental impacts of which are so clearly manifest in a loss of cultural connection and native language. The fact is, currently, there is no legislation which explicitly protects or promotes any native languages, apart from our official ones, English and French. Without any bill explicitly recognizing and celebrating the mother languages of all cultures and heritage, there is no real protection of any traditional language.
