Mother tongue is an incomparable treasure for a person, the basis of the soul of the nation and national pride. The wealth, history and culture of each nation are expressed primarily in its language. It is passed down from generation to generation in dialect, words, and literature. Through the mother tongue, the nation expresses its identity, values, dreams, hopes, and conscience. The language embodies the people's spirit, experiences, and attitude to life. Even in one of its words, centuries-old history, noble traditions, and national cultures are hidden. When a person writes and speaks in his mother tongue, he certainly speaks from his heart. Behind this lies the history, dreams, sorrows, and pride of the entire nation.
