‘Our Mother Tongue Is Far More Than A Means Of Communication’
Asiya Hassan,
Khalid Bashir Gura
KASHMIR LIFE (KL):
How can you be described and how this idea of getting mother-tongue into the digital world initiated?
ASIYA HASSAN (AS): My name is Asiya Hassan, born in Wuyan-Pampore. I have lived in Kashmir till my fifth standard of schooling. Later we moved to Malaysia, where I completed high school and graduated in Graphic Design. Currently, I am pursuing my masters in Kuala Lumpur.
The idea of setting up the page,
Kashmiri Dictionary on social media came out of the lack of online resources about our language. Many years back, when I was teaching my nephew (born and raised outside Kashmir), I searched the internet to find some useful resources that could be helpful in making him understand the language better. But the information about our language on the internet is quite limited so I could not find any good complete sources.
