or the cunningness of political
0:17
the use of mother tongue activists by
0:19
the elite has been a common practice for
0:21
many years mother tongue activists are
0:24
individuals or groups who advocate for
0:26
the preservation and promotion of their
0:28
native language the elite on the other
0:31
hand are people who hold significant
0:33
power and influence in society in many
0:36
cases they use mother tongue activists
0:39
to achieve their own purposes which
0:41
often results in no fruit for the Common
0:44
one of the main ways in which the elite
0:47
uses mother tongue activists is to
0:49
further their own political agendas
0:51
they may fund or support mother tongue
0:54
activists who are promoting their party
0:55
or ideology using them as a means of
0:58
gaining support from certain communities
1:01
the elite may also use mother tongue
1:03
activists to divide and conquer pitting
1:06
different language groups against each
1:08
other to weaken opposition and maintain
1:12
another way in which the elite uses
1:14
mother tongue activists is to promote
1:16
their own economic interests
1:18
in many countries the elite controls
1:21
much of the wealth and resources and
1:23
they may use mother tongue activists to
1:25
create a market for their products or
1:28
this can be seen in the promotion of
1:31
certain languages over others with the
1:33
elite favoring those languages that are
1:35
spoken by their target market or that
1:37
are associated with economic growth and
1:39
development the use of mother tongue
1:42
activists by the elite often results in
1:44
no fruit for the Common Man
1:46
while the elite May achieve their goals
1:49
the ordinary people who are supposed to
1:51
benefit from the promotion of their
1:53
native language often see little
1:55
Improvement in their lives
1:57
instead they may be further marginalized
1:59
and excluded from the mainstream Society
2:02
this is because the promotion of a
2:04
particular language often comes at the
2:06
expense of other languages leading to
2:09
the erosion of cultural diversity and
2:11
the loss of traditional knowledge
2:13
moreover the Elite's use of mother
2:15
tongue activists can lead to further
2:17
Division and conflict between language
2:21
when language is used as a political
2:23
tool it can create animosity and
2:25
resentment between communities hindering
2:28
cooperation and progress this can result
2:31
in a cycle of violence and unrest which
2:34
further undermines the well-being of
2:37
in conclusion the use of mother tongue
2:40
activists by the elite is a common
2:41
practice that often results in no fruit
2:45
while the elite May achieve their goals
2:48
the promotion of a particular language
2:50
often comes at the expense of other
2:52
languages and can lead to further
2:54
Division and conflict between
2:55
communities to truly promote linguistic
2:58
diversity and cultural heritage it is
3:01
essential that language advocacy be
3:03
rooted in a genuine desire for the
3:05
well-being of all people rather than
3:07
being used as a means of furthering
