One of the major reasons which perish a language is not teaching children their mother tongues. We all are not that immature. We all can feel that the Language, Balochi has spoken by our elders back a decade or more was pure and different but with time we can observe that our language is being mingled with other languages especially Urdu the national language of Pakistan, and English, the international language.
This is saddening and one of the most disheartening things that we have become modernized and are forgetting our culture, language, and history which is our recognition.
Yes, there is no denial that Balochi is our recognition. If we forget Balochi, the world will forget us. Accordingly, I am writing this to solicit all of you, the readers, to give your best in saving Balochi by learning first then teaching.
In particular, the parents are requested to teach Balochi. If they are busy or have any other difficulties, they should instruct their children to watch Balochi learning videos on YouTube channels and Facebook pages or they should just have a Balochi linguistic teacher.
This is also unfortunate that we can hardly find a Balochi learning Institute or school. But, yes I do believe that digitally our Baloch people are doing their best to redeem the language. Thereupon, everyone yes almost everyone ( every Baloch) should give his 100% to save Balochi, our recognition and pride.
Dear readers, let's save Balochi by teaching our youngers. Let's defend our treasure by learning and improving ourselves. Let's circulate our mother tongue by creating videos on it and establishing private institutes to teach new generations.
It is my request to all of you that if you can teach Balochi please do not wait for anyone to appoint you, just open an institute or create a digital site to teach. This can be a great tribute and devotion to Balochi. Hope no one ignores what I have composed from my heart and soul.
