tbe article is about not neglecting our own national language but the writer could have presented it in a much better way.

calling others buffoons for not preferring the usage of national language is rather tactless. not to mention rude. i'm sure her parents and her religion have taught her better than that. but i guess she didn't pick those up well enough.

you don't learn a language for the sake of unity, it's not a very bright idea. however, you learn a language to minimize conflict as you get to communicate your thoughts better. if language is the key to unity, there wouldn't be civil wars.

anyhow, the article is garbage. not worth referring to. TS probably can produce a better article than her.
