A Saying is a Saying…Try One in Konkani!

Today is International Mother Language Day and our blog is turning multilingual today. We are hosting a series of blog posts by different authors, illustrators, parents, educators and children – sharing their thoughts on languages and more. International Mother Language Day is an observance held annually on 21 February worldwide to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. 2015 is the 15th anniversary of International Mother Language Day.

Languages give us wisdom. And Kanchan Bannerjee, Managing Trustee of
Akshara Foundation, and author of several bilingual books, has given us a big dose of wisdom in the form of sayings in Konkani. Kanchan has made a list of well-known, well-used Konkani proverbs and invites readers to add to the list.
Please pardon the fonts…this Mother Tongue Day multi-lingual posting has left us battling with Indic fonts, and Konkani is …well, Kui and Saura to us, from the looks of it!
