Speaking only for myself, I feel that my greatest loss is never learning my mother’s language. My parents only had English in common, so that was what was spoken at home. I believe that our languages embody the spirit of our cultures. How you view the world is intimately tied to how you express yourself, and vice versa. The physical artifacts of culture can be relearned or replicated but once a language is gone, it’s gone forever.
