SINDHI LANGUAGE COMMITTEE (Click at the link for details)
A Message
My dear fellow Sindhies,
Our Sindhi language is a very old one unfortunately due to frequent attacks from outside and hostile attitude of rulers it did not develop and make much progress. It is due to Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai that it survived and is known in the world. We should be thankful to Britishers also who recognized its importance and got prepared a new arabic script for it. It is during British period that so many selected and important books were got translated in Sindhi. Besides that Shah-jo-risalo was compiled and printed in Germany in 1866 by Earnest Trumpp and with that sanction and at the expense of the Government of India. In his preface written to the first edition of Dr. Trumpp states (We humbly trust that by the publication of this volume a firm base may be gained for the study of a language, which though not widely spread, is in many points superior to any other modern language of India and well deserving the notice of the Linguist).
Now after Pakistan due attention is not being given to our sweet mother-tongue neither by our rulers nor by our own Sindhi people themselves. This second factor is most damaging and very unfortunate. As a matter of fact it is only and only with the help of and through its mother-tongue that a person creates something and learn properly and this is the considered opinion of all our scholars, educationist and teachers.
My Sindhi brothers we should always remember that a nation is known and recognized first by its language and than by good traditions of its culture. Nation always lives with its culture and dies with it.
I as a chairman of Sindhi language, SANA urge all of you that we should take all our efforts to save our sweet mother-tongue by taking all positive and practicable steps. We should all adopt Sindhi as our first love and see that everyone in the family is able to write, read and speak Sindhi.
Always remember "Be Sindhi Teach Sindhi".
Thankyou,
Sajjad Siddiqui
