Mysuru: ‘Amma’ or ‘Ammi’ comes from the heart while ‘Mommy’ comes from the lips, Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu said in city this morning as he urged people to speak in their mother-tongue. “Respect the language that has come from your mother’s womb,” he said.
Naidu was speaking after inaugurating the five-day Golden Jubilee celebrations of Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) at its premises in Manasagangothri on Hunsur Road. He asked people not to forget their own language but said it was fine to talk in English when speaking to a foreigner.
