The second stanza is also about the language that we are using in daily
interaction with others. Language is our tool in expressing our ideas and to recognize
the identity of each one. In this stanza, it indicates that our language that we use in day
to day activities is a God-given treasure to us. Moreover, it wants us to protect and to
preserve our language to give legacy in the next generations.
In the third stanzas, Whoever knows not how to love his native tongue is worse
than any best or evil smelling fish it says that you should be proud of what native
tongues you have wherever you are. The more you deny, the more it makes suspicious.
You dont need to hide your native tongues because your tone in speaking can already
distinguishes of what identity you have. There are many people who have reached
other foreign country, they enjoying the environment and adapted the foreign language
and culture that they visited or worked for. Its sad to think about that our countryman is
not patronizing our own native tongues which are the legacy of our ancestor to us. It
must be spread and introduce to others wherever you are. Dont forget the origin you
belong and you must be proud of.
