What's interesting about speaking a #secondlanguage ? #malayalam #hindi #tamil #arabic
So as it turns out, Swell is inviting users to participate in the Second Language Week. And I think this is interesting because being a polyglot, I have a deep appreciation and fascination for the languages. I can speak five languages with varying degrees of fluency, english being the language I'm most proficient in. Binamalum and Madravashiana or Malayali. Ayonda Malayalam samsari Kanariyam or Ferhindi Bachman meham Botsari. Bollywood pictures. Take Tete to Hindi? Maybe. Pathka sakta APRO tamil

Hi Nigel, I hope you're doing good. And I would say all languages are so perfect. They feel so good by listening to your words. And I would say I can also speak Hindi, English, Punjabi, and I can read Sanskrit, but I cannot speak Sanskrit. So what I find that there's very sound of learning other languages. Their actual meanings, their words are different from your own mother tongue. So it's kind of guides me

So this kind of development of happiness and the emotions that you get while speaking second language with the people who tend to speak to you and not only like a few people, they say they know only English. And sometimes mother tongue is avoided by certain people. I have seen many of them saying that I do not know some people who have the mother tongue of Tamil. They say Tamil ablavataria the accent. Tamil apesina in the tapu. What is wrong in speaking in your language? Mother tongue?

Um, such an interesting conversation. Thank you for the invite. And I really feel, as A-U-S. Born woman who was asked to learn one language at some point in her K through twelve education, it's not even pushed in college. It's a very kind of naval gazing culture, ultimately the US. In terms of the love of language. I don't know what percentage of the people here speak proficiently other languages, but I'm sure it's probably under 20%

So within languages too, there are nuances spoken by communities. It could be cast dependent, though I wouldn't like to use that word, but it is just for identification purposes. I would say that it's interesting how language permeates into my life. And the love for words, I think is universal

Would it be fair to say that it is the idea or the essence of communication that our minds recognize and not the construct and the rules and regulations of a language that we resonate in? So oftentimes I wonder, when I am having a conversation with someone in whatever language that is, I talk to the person. I get the reply in, let's say, Malayalam. But my brain does not process the reply in Malayalam. It processes it in another language altogether

Are you speaking to a child? Are you speaking to an adult? Are you speaking to an older person? Are you speaking to a woman? Are you speaking to somebody senior? All of that also because language is culture, so it is not merely a carrier of communication between two people. Also, it comes from your upbringing. It comes from the way you use your tone, the way you use your words. You choose your words, the way you it's your personality and your character

So when I have to express myself, which is mostly through poetry, I always turn to English mainly for the versatility of the language and because I'm just able to find a tune and rhyme in English way better than any other language. But when I'm angry and I want to have that really intense, powerful conversation with someone, and particularly if I want to abuse someone, I think Malayalam would be the language that I use for that

There are two kinds of languages the language that is thought and the language that is used. And oftentimes these two are vastly different from each other

Hey Shaiza, thank you for your reply in topics Maya, Kisad bhat, karnabada, chalakta, like in Hamapna reply English, Mediterranean. So you're right in the point that you said about a lot of the Indian languages sharing similarities. And I think regardless of whether it's a north or the south, much of the Indian languages have some sort of an association with Sanskrit. I find that regardless of North India or South India, there are certain words that are common. Right

We have acquired a kind of proficiency and fluency. But English will always remain as. A kind of our second language and it's never going to take place of Hindi. And apart from that, if you ask me, I have a strong fascination for Odo word. So if I have to say that somebody is looking really pretty. So I think I would rather use the word kupsurath LaGray because I just love these Urdu words. Although I know very little of them. Very few of them

And also by virtue of living in various states across the country, I think that the minute you embrace the language, the local tongue, right, it's a sort of a mark of respect for the people and their culture. And I think I have always loved learning the language, trying to understand and start speaking in the languages soon as possible. But there are some languages which are very difficult to embrace as well

And the way it's used, if you look at it, is more or less they've got a lot of similarities between the construction and the situations in which they're used. So being a bilingual or a multilingual person, I have a question for you. And this is just food for thought. I don't really think there is a black and white answer to this, but the question is, what do you think is the primary objective of a language?
