Why is our mother tongue so important in shaping our identity, culture, and the way we think?
In this thought-provoking episode of **Ahmed Fozan Podcast**, Salman Asif Siddiqui joins us to discuss the importance of mother tongue, its connection with personal identity, and the challenges faced by Gen Z in a world increasingly influenced by English and global culture.
We explore why a mother tongue is more than just a language — it is a connection to our roots, traditions, emotions, and cultural heritage. Are we unintentionally distancing the younger generation from their native languages? What role do parents and educational institutions play in preserving our mother tongues? And how can Gen Z embrace global opportunities without losing touch with their linguistic and cultural identity?
Watch this insightful conversation on *mother tongue, identity, Gen Z, parenting, language, and cultural preservation* to understand what we may be getting wrong and why our native languages deserve greater appreciation.
