Making Mother Tongues Lit and Interesting

By Dominick Dauni Roising Rymbai

Gen Z have a vocabulary of their own, where "Lit" means something cool, awesome, or exciting. This write-up is inspired by the article "Speak Your Roots: A Digital Hearth for Khasi Language Preservation" by Daiarisa Rumnong.

The author claims no educational qualification in Languages, Linguistics, or History. Firstly, respect and gratitude to Daiarisa for her effort to make our mother tongues "alive and kicking" and cool through the Instagram page and website, Speak Your Roots.

Tradition meets modernity with online/digital conversations in an ancient language.

Language creates personal connections.

Author's summary: Making mother tongues cool and interesting.
