A mother tongue is a way of thinking and feeling – of naming the world and our place in it. It carries memory and experience passed from generation to generation, even despite hostile attempts to break this continuity. For centuries, the Ukrainian language endured repression and bans, yet it survived. Today, it stands as one of the clearest markers of our identity and one of the symbols of Ukrainian resistance.
Ukrainian is rich and expressive. It can be gentle or sharp, poetic or strikingly precise.
To nurture one’s mother tongue is to protect the space where it can be spoken freely.
Because language is our home – and our responsibility.
