Last night, one of my friends said that if Kadazan parents do not talk to their children (and grandchildren) in Kadazan, the Kadazan Language can disappear in fifty years time. This is very true and I had written on this topic somewhere else.
Another said that he insists on Kadazan-Dusun to talk in their own mother tongue whether or not young Kadazan-Dusun can understand the language or not. Parents who refused or refrained from talking in their mother to members of their family, particularly the young generation, are allowing outside influence to undermine the identity of their people.
The Chinese and the Indians prefer to talk to each other in their own language. And the performance of their children in schools do not suffer. This is clearly seen in the performance of the school-going children during examinations.
In fact, I read some time ago that being knowledgeable in their mother tongue strengthens a people's racial identity. This helps them to build a stronger foundation in life and be better able to handle the stresses in life. In short, they will become successful in what they do as individuals and this helps to build up their people.
Loving one's own people and mother tongue is not wrong. It is not a sin. Accordingly, it is imperative for Kadazan people to love and learn their language. There is no excuse for refusing to do so. In fact, it is wrong to claim that one is a Kadazan and yet cannot understand and speak Kadazan. How is possible for a Kadazan to prove that he or she is a Kadazan if he or she cannot speak or understand even one word of Kadazan? There could be fake Kadazans nowadays since anything is possible in these times of technological advance and innovation.
So make up your mind to learn Kadazan today.
