‘Languages of Water’ intro

On this International Mother Language Day, we resume the language-Arts project 2023 and invite all to share their Languages, their corresponding cultures with the theme- ‘Water’ 

Notes from the audio-

Aqua, agua, nero wand

wasser water voda jan

panni shui zou tu

yei vesi duo wai

How many names of water

could you identify?!

So many languages

That many ways

to approach water

what a rich world is mine

full of variety 

at times chaos yet harmony underlies

we all different yet something common binding us all

Just like water that is in ponds 

in running streams

in gushing waterfalls

resting in the cleavages of the rocks

its everywhere that life is seen

though different forms

the common factor is WATER for them all

Lets explore Waters

near or surrounding lands

far away or passed to us 

from our ancestral hands

How does your culture see water 

from different dimensions, 

is there any Poem any Song, 

any literature that sings of Waters glorious forms?

Did your mother 

teach you any scientific theory?

Did you grandpa tell you a story

that revolved around water's glory?

How can you relate

to Water thru your 

own linguistic stance

As an Arts platform we would like to approach Water not just as a survival element but explore the many emotional, psychological, artistic spiritual or any other dimensions of water thru our own cultural languages.

Please join us for this fun family exploriation that will encourage inter-generational dialogues. Lets celebrate languages and our cultures and our lands and ours waters an ur skies, for they are all interrelated as also are we.  like water that connects us all. 

Here is a small hym amongst india cultures that was typically recited while having bath and revering the water, by including names of all major rivers of their lands. 

And a small poem to start our Language Arts project on this Unitted Nation's international Moher-Langage day. Stay tuned for discussions and Questions and debates and poems and songs and music and dance revolving around our languages our modern cultures that celebrate water in all its forms!
