Virajpet, Dec. 3: Retired teacher Abdul Latif expressed concern that clear Kannada is disappearing in language practice due to the pressure of various languages while pronouncing the Kannada language.
Speaking as a judge at the Clear Kannada Speech Competition program for students on various topics organized by Embark Association Virajpet as part of the 70th Kannada Rajyotsava at the Government High School auditorium here, he said that pronunciation, meaning and speaking with understanding are important to strengthen the language. Kannada language has its own status. It is a matter of concern that modern Kannada is becoming a mixed language due to the mixture of many languages today.
He said that if Kannada language is not limited to the month of November only, but is pronounced and spoken in Achcha Kannada every day so that Kannada is eternal, this is the gift we give to mother Kannada. Retired teacher Charles D'Souza said that Kannada language should be considered alive. Considering the current situation, it is a matter of concern that the young community, who have completed their primary, high school and college education in Kannada medium, are using Kannada for daily use. Kiwi Matu said, "Think about Kannada as a breath of fresh air and Kannada as a green leaf."
President of Embark Association Diwakar Shetty, speaking in the introduction, said that it is a common occurrence in the current society that students do not know how to write or speak Kannada when they start their lives after completing their early childhood education and college education.
In the Karnataka Folk Arts subject, 10th grade student Naziruddin H. M (P) J. Thimmaiah, Mohammed Isham K.S. (Dvi), and Dr. Rajkumar, Lavanya P.T. (Third), secured a place in the competition. A total of 18 students participated in the competition. Madan, a fellow teacher of the Government High School, and Usha Pritam, a journalist, were present.
