21 February, 2021: Mother Language Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

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. (Nelson Mandela)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to renowned British linguist David Crystal, every other week one of the languages on our planet dies (a language is considered dead when there is no native speaker of it left). The UNESCO Atlas of the World Languages in Danger<\/a> lists approximately 3,000 languages in danger of extinction. The Foundation for Endangered Languages<\/a> estimates that over half the world\u2019s languages are moribund and will not be passed on to the next generation of speakers.<\/p>\n

Our cultural and individual identity are closely bound to language, and when a language disappears, our world becomes poorer in cultural diversity. For this reason, the UN created Mother Language Day<\/a> in 1999 and has celebrated it ever since, to remind us that we need to protect humankind\u2019s linguistic and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Though this year\u2019s class of \u201cIntercultural Communication\u201d is small due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID 19 pandemic, the 20 students enrolled represent more than 10 different countries, 8 different mother tongues and 13 different languages spoken. They are representatives of a world in which communities are multilingual and multicultural, and diversity is a positive value. In class, we reflect on the relationship between language, culture and identity in a variety of ways, and here we\u2019d like to share one activity with you. We have all chosen one expression in our mother tongue that we feel is impossible to translate directly because it is so rich in cultural associations that a single word in another language cannot do justice to its full meaning. We\u2019ll be explaining these expressions to you and what aspects of our culture they represent.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll enjoy our blog entry and invite you to celebrate Mother Language Day 2021 with your friends, classmates or teachers.<\/p>\n

21 de febrero de 2021: El D\u00eda de la Lengua Materna<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

\u00a0Si le hablas a alguien en un idioma que entiende, apelas a su intelecto. Si le hablas en su propio idioma, apelas a su coraz\u00f3n. (Nelson Mandela, traducci\u00f3n propia)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seg\u00fan el c\u00e9lebre ling\u00fcista brit\u00e1nico David Crystal, cada dos semanas muere una lengua de nuestro planeta (una lengua se considera muerta cuando ya no tiene hablantes nativos). La UNESCO, en su Atlas de lenguas en peligro de extinci\u00f3n<\/a>, facilita una lista de unas 3.000 lenguas en riesgo. La Fundaci\u00f3n para las lenguas en riesgo <\/a>considera que m\u00e1s de la mitad de las lenguas en el mundo est\u00e1n moribundas, y no se transmitir\u00e1n a la siguiente generaci\u00f3n de hablantes.<\/p>\n

Nuestra identidad cultural y personal est\u00e1 estrechamente ligada a nuestro idioma materno, y, cada vez que una lengua desaparece, nuestro mundo queda un poco m\u00e1s pobre. Esta es la raz\u00f3n por la que las Naciones Unidas crearon el D\u00eda de la Lengua Materna<\/a> en 1999 y lo han celebrado todos los a\u00f1os desde entonces: para recordarnos que debemos proteger la herencia ling\u00fc\u00edstica y cultural de la humanidad.<\/p>\n

Este a\u00f1o, debido a la pandemia de la COVID 19, la asignatura de \u201cComunicaci\u00f3n Intercultural\u201d s\u00f3lo tiene 20 alumnos, pero estos alumnos provienen de 10 pa\u00edses diferentes, hablan 8 lenguas maternas diferentes y se pueden comunicar en 13 lenguas. Son representantes de un mundo en el que las comunidades son pluriling\u00fces y multiculturales, y en el que la diversidad es un valor positivo. En nuestras clases, reflexionamos sobre la relaci\u00f3n entre lengua, cultura e identidad, y en este blog queremos compartir una de nuestras actividades contigo. Todos hemos elegido una expresi\u00f3n en nuestra lengua materna que creemos que es imposible traducir directamente a otro idioma debido a la complejidad de su significado y su riqueza cultural. Mediante unos videos breves queremos explicarte lo que significa cada expresi\u00f3n para nosotros.<\/p>\n

Esperamos que te guste nuestra entrada y te invitamos a celebrar el D\u00eda de la Lengua Materna con tus amigos, compa\u00f1eros de clase y profesores.<\/p>\n
