Embracing Our Many Voices
The world is a vast repository of diverse languages and dialects – our ancestors handed down to us more than 6000 unique languages. How many of these do you interact with in your daily life?
If you live in the UK or North America, you’ll be familiar with English, yet might encounter different accents that stem from regional variances of the same language. And the languages of your grandparents might be very different to the ones you speak. Can you converse in Gujarati, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, or Kutchi? If you can manage speaking two languages, you’re considered bilingual, but if you have more than two, that makes you multilingual, or as some would say, a polyglot!
