We are
one as Filipinos, though we have different dialects or in Filipino, wikang
katutubo. Especially those who are separated by kilometers of distance away or
are from different parts of the Philippines.

Buwan
ng Wika 2019 with the theme, “Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino”,
recognizes Filipino as a national language that serves as the bridge to unite
the many Ethno linguistic groups in the country. That even with diversity in our
dialects, we are still able to connect and understand one another through one
language.
“Nais
nating pagpugayan at patunayan na mahalagang bahagi ng ating pagkabansa ang 130
katutubong wika sa Filipinas.” that was according to Virgilio Almario, the
chairman of Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF).
It is
said that language is the first cultural heritage of humanity. The richness of
our past is in the language of indigenous wisdom.
This
year’s celebration of the Buwan ng Wika concentrated on the dialects that
sooner or later may disappear permanently. According to Almario, every language
has its own life and within those lives contain the many traditions of the Filipinos
for generations. If it is not taken care of properly and soon is neglected, it
will disappear. Leaving the next generations clueless about these.

No one
would want our very own dialects to forever be forgotten and that is why we celebrate the Buwan ng Wika for the whole month of August, every year. To
receive, pass on and to remember what our ancestors have come across, all
through the years. A way of preserving our cultural heritage.
