Central Asian teen girl with dark straight hair, brown eyes, and a light-colored, striped collared shirt.

OUR GREAT WEALTH

      We often write that the great wealth and priceless property of the nation is the language. 

Each of us is responsible for preserving it.   There is no right to destroy our mother tongue, to make it as dry as possible with words coming from different languages.  Abdulla Qadiri, the great Uzbek, reprimanded us: “The Uzbek language is not poor, but those who call the Uzbek language poor are poor.”  They should not blame their ignorance on the Uzbek language.

      Did Abdulla Qadiri really write novels without using Russian words?  Is there a place in El’s heart?

       The famous people of that time expressed their opinions with two-line verses.  They were not at all ashamed of saying, “You have done me a favor, my lady.”

      Hazrat Alisher Navoi, our grandfather, clearly explained the definition of our Turkish language.

      I am a Turkish narration, 

     I made this fashion story.

      Whose fame spread to the world

      Enjoy even knowing Turkish.

      Hazrat Navoi said that the fame of the Turkish language fills the world, this language will spread to the world.  They also said that the world will benefit from this language.

      A person who doesn’t know the lines of our great poet Abdulla Oripov, “The day you die, I’ll definitely die!”

      The words of Halima Khudoyberdiyeva, the most charming poetess of our time, are unforgettable lines.

     My pierced tongue

     My cut tongue.

     A huge cloud fell,

     A broken tongue.

     Like a bird’s feather 

     Forget about it, my dear. 

     On the floor of books

     My colorful straw,

     You smell like almonds 

     My child is neither Russian nor Uzbek, 

     There is a sign of Arosat.

     Five hundred years ago

     I understand the letter, so

      What I said today

      My child sometimes does not understand.

      We have become a nation that forgets flowers.

      We have become a forgetful nation.

      A mass shooting occurred.

      We have become a people who forget the language…

     El’s male poet Muhammad Yusuf also considered himself guilty and a sinner in front of the Uzbek language due to the deterioration of the language:

     Although I did not like those who attacked me,

      I wrote a poem, but I didn’t do anything else.

      I did not speak in my own language,

      When I remember it, my heart hurts. 

      My mother tongue, forgive me, my mother tongue…

      One day every year on October 21, we think about the language, the Uzbek language.

      “Forgive me, mother tongue”

      “As inheritors of the priceless wealth passed down from our ancestors to our generations, we need to preserve our mother tongue, enrich it, and constantly work on increasing its prestige.” 

       Islam Karimov, First President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

      Darlings!  What kind of children are we if we don’t appreciate our mother tongue?  Come, my sisters, brothers, young and old, let’s come together and appreciate our mother tongue in time.
