The objective of this day is to promote linguistic diversity and multilingual education, and to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue. Let us all celebrate this day at our home/work/school and commit that: 1. At home we will always talk to our kids in Punjabi 2. We will teach our kids to read and write Punjabi at home or enroll them in Punjabi schools. Importance of Mother Language 1. UNESCO's supreeme ruling body, the Gneral Conference, in 1999, recognised the role of the mother tongue in the development of communication skills, concept formation and creativity, and the fact that mother tongues are the prime vehicles of cultural identity. 2. UNESCO Director General Koïchiro Matsuura said that each mother tongue in itself represents a conceptual universe, a dazzling and complex array of sounds and emotions, associations of movements and time. He also said "Encouraging the learning of languages, developing translation, creating familiarity among cultures through dialogue, is an expression of peace-building." 3. A researcher in this subject Wong-Fillmore explains that in homes where parents do not communicate with children in their mother tongue, family communication may deteriorate. Where parents and children do not share a common language, communication is often limited to the basic necessities, preventing parents from transmitting to their children the complex set of values, beliefs, wisdom, and understanding which provides the foundation for their children's learning and development. 4. In an era of globalization, a society that has access to multilingual and multicultural resources is advantaged in its ability to play an important social and economic role on the world stage. At a time when cross-cultural contact is at an all time high in human history, the identities of all societies are evolving. 5. Bilingualism has positive effects on children's linguistic and educational development. When children continue to develop their abilities in two or more languages through out their primary school years, they gain a deeper understanding of language and how to use it effectively. And when they develop literacy in both, they are able to compare and contrast the ways in which their two languages organise reality. 6. More than 150 research studies, conducted during the past 35 years, strongly support what Goethe, the German philosopher, once said; The person who knows only one language does not truly know that language. The research suggests that bilingual children may also develop more flexibility in their thinking as a result of processing information through two different languages. 7. Children who come to school with a solid foundation in their mother tongue develop stronger literacy abilities in the school 8. Children's cultural and linguistic experience in the home is the foundation of their future learning and we must build on that foundation rather than undermine it. 9. Encouraging young children to learn their Mother Tongue would help them to develop confidence, self-esteem and their unique identity within a multicultural society. It will also provide answers to many of their questions such as 'Why I have brown skin?'. In an increasingly multi-cultural society, the teaching of migrant languages in schools cannot be isolated from the study of the culture of migrant groups. Culture and traditions essentially go hand in hand with language. 10. According to a wise man, "The best ever gift from parents to their children is the knowledge of their mother tongue and culture". 11. People who assimilate completely and give up their cultural heritage, end up being hollow imitations of what they think it means to be, for example, an Australian. No matter how hard they try, they will always be at heart, a Punjabi, but will not understand what makes them like that. On the other hand, those who make an effort to retain their culture and values will find their lives greatly enriched. They will be able to partake of both the Australian way of life and the Punjabi way of life. 12. Mother tongue is the personality and life of a person. Language is a way of interacting with society, which is must to live. If we have to stay at a place where there is no mother tongue, we will die mentally, culturally, and physically. Only through the language we can express feelings of cultured life. 13. The vastness of Punjabi language range from folk songs, tales, spiritualism, and knowledge of God. Punjabi language has resources for all kinds of people in our society. 14. Punjabi proverbs, sayings, jokes, and tales are a vast treasure for our society. 15. The objective of learning mother tongue should be to promote, foster and propagate the cultural heritage, within the framework of multiculturalism with a view to achieve the goal - 'unity in diversity' in a more cohesive, equitable and harmonious Australia.
