Today is International Mother Language Day, where we celebrate linguistic & cultural diversity. In the words of Nelson Mandela:“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart”. https://t.co/2eaQkOwrJH

SUHNI SINDHI BOLI It is very unfortunate that our own Sindhi people living overseas are not familiar with their own language. If this will continue, then how will our new generation know about their mother language? Sindhi Boli Qomi Boli. #سنڌي_ٻولي_قومي_ٻولي https://t.co/Qlhk1dPVHW
