The preservation of mother tongues should start in the family, and young people should be motivated to learn them, including by presenting the possibilities of using the language in their career and professional development. This opinion was expressed in a video interview with TASS at the All-Russian Forum "Peak of Opportunities" in Nalchik, General Director of the Assembly of the Peoples of Russia Artur Latipov.
He also noted the importance of the mother tongue. "We learn foreign languages with great enthusiasm. After the Great Patriotic War, the study of the German language began actively, then English was added, then we got French, Italian, now we moved to Asia, and our native languages somehow faded into the background. But we forgot that the mother tongue is an opportunity to penetrate the culture, indigenous creations, our language is history, it's a huge pond, it's a huge pond. of opportunities and the opening of human potential, it seems to me that through the language we will preserve our culture and diversity," Latipov added.
