Language as a mode of communication in general, and one’s mother tongue in particular, are important parts of our existence, regardless of whether we live among our fellow native speakers or in a foreign language community abroad. But how does it feel to be deprived of the ability to use your own mother tongue as a minority in your own country under the tyrannical oppression of ruling powers? It is a human right to speak one's own mother tongue. Through language, we convey opinions, thoughts, and feelings—in short, the opportunity to express ourselves. By depriving a person of their mother tongue, one also deprives them of a significant part of their identity, which in turn can lead to feelings of alienation, frustration, and the artificial construction of a cultural gap among individuals.
