Kohima, March 17 (MExN): “Discovering and doing researches of language is the Almighty’s way of opening windows of heaven and pouring out His blessing to His people,” MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu stated today.
Nagas must realize that our true wealth lies in our weather, climate, soil conditions, rivers, mountains, culture, traditions and not forgetting our languages, Nienu added.
He was addressing the 5th general session of the Chokri Chakhesang Literature Committee (CCLC) at Zonal Council Hall as the chief guest.
Nienu urged upon the Chokri speaking people to utilize the beautiful language as a wonderful asset provided by God. Further stating that being multi-lingual is the need of the hour, Nienu called upon the Chokri speaking community to interface with other fellow Khezha (Khuzhami) and Sapu speaking languages thereby avoiding being confined in one’s own language. Confinement in one’s speaking language results in lack of unity and also hampers the development of education, economics etc., Nienu asserted.
