"If you know all the languages of the world, and you don't know your mother tongue or your first language or the language of your culture, than that is actually self-enslavement. This is very important. But if you know your mother tongue or your first language, then add all the languages of the world to it, that is empowerment." ---Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, renowned African writer
(These words of Ngũgĩ are quoted from a YouTube video)
