I would like to know the possibility of starting a website where I can ‘heavily’ blog.

Can you contact me on onyeka.nwelue@hotmail.com. It seems you know better in web hosting and designing.

But the survival of our native language(s) is actually possible by our own sheer will to give it an upper hand; at least in our mind! Maybe we must promote communication in our mother tongues rather than a foreign language.

I feel there’s nothing wrong with conversing fluently in English. The ‘Global-village’ era that this is, the need for English tends to be as imperative. A balance between both languages is exactly what is essential.

And yeah, long comments are utmost welcome!

Enikk malayalam korach korach ariyaam is a classic example! But I know people who’re FAR worse!

hvnt got readable malayalam font in here, vl chk tat wen i log on to the other pc..

The issue you’ve raised herein is fantastically correct. You know, the decadence of most languages is not only prevalent in India. While I was in India, I felt really pained towards my fellow Nigerians that we couldn’t even stand with one language that belongs to us. It’s imperatively funny how English has taken over every language. So, the issue of Malayalam dying is a small one. Here in Nigeria, children, as from the day they are conceived, are subjected to English. Instead of a Nigerian mother telling her son in one of the tribal languages, like, ‘Bia’, she’d say, ‘Come’, thinking that with that the child would graduate into an English master. But that’s never simple.

I’m sorry I’ve to make this comment long.

Neverthemore, it has risen to the mode that now what we speak in Nigeria has transcended from English to Pidgin…

Talk to you later…

But this does NOT mean we should ignore English. Thanks to globalisation, English is necessary evil!

And congrats for adhering to Malayalam!

@ Sriram:
Congrats to you too for the new name! This one’s far better than the incomprehensible “Smokin’ WDM’!

@ hari vishnu:
Guess we two are on the same boat! Malayalam, even in “Manglish” is a welcome relief over chaste English! But yeah, the pure form is needed!!

The fact is that our language is devolving!

keep malayalam bloggin ..

I never knew that Malayalam is in that list !!

I won’t actually blame people who take their children to English medium schools, I will personally do this when its time, ( well, time ayilla ketto )

I have had enough of MTI problems and lot of troubles to speak in English, which was necessary for getting placed somewhere, or even continuing where where I am now ..

But, I am not going to leave Malayalam, in anyway .. I am blogging in Malayalam too .. I am a hardcore Malayali ..
