Mangaluru, Oct 03: “Language researchers have warned that the languages spoken by less number of people around the world are at extinction. Such risks may arise if the western language is entirely adopted without giving respect to the mother tongue. Therefore, the Beary language’s extinction or survival is in the hands of the Beary community; opined M.B Abdurrahman, Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy's first term president.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Beary Bhasha Dinacharane programme, organized by the Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy at the town hall here on Wednesday.

“Initially, there was no idea that the government would announce the academy. Today, the Academy is doing well. But the survival or the development of the Beary language is not possible only through the Academy.”

“Rather, it is possible if all the Beary's respect their mother tongue by speaking it and indulging in literary activities. Otherwise, the Beary Language will come under threats. Therefore, we should know that the extinction and the survival of the Beary language are in our hands, M.B Abdurrahman added. 

Program convener Basheer Baikampady welcomed the gathering. Tanseef B.M presented the vote of thanks, while Hussain Katipalla compered the programme.

Musliṁ lēkhakara saṅgha(MLS) President Umar U.H delivered a talk on the topic  'Beary Bhāṣhe Mattu Sāhitya Indu-Ninne-Nāḷe’.

The Academy chairman Karambar Muhammad released the CD of 'Abba' Beary movie songs. The trailer of the movie was also screened during the programme. The cultural program of the Beary songs by Abdusammad Katipalla was also conducted.
