| Orientation Program for “Mother Tongue Alphabet Training Workshop 2025” Held at Chittagong University

CHT, January 28, 2025, Chittagong University: The Rendezvous Art Group, a cultural organization led by indigenous students of Chittagong University (CU), hosted the orientation program for the highly anticipated “Mother Tongue Alphabet Training Workshop 2025” under the inspiring theme, “My Alphabet, My Pride.”

The event, held today at 3 PM in the courtyard of the Chittagong University Museum, marked the beginning of a month-long workshop aimed at preserving and promoting indigenous scripts.

The orientation session was graced by notable individuals, including senior CU student Antar Chakma, Mro alphabet trainer Phungpre Mro, and Tanchangya alphabet trainers Debashish Tanchangya and Tithi Tanchangya.

Rendezvous Art Group’s Organizing Secretary, Nukhyai Mong Marma, moderated the discussion, while Vice President Bhuban Chakma presided over the program. The event opened with a heartfelt welcome address delivered by Vice President Ravi Bikash Chakma, setting the tone for the workshop's noble objectives.

Highlighting the critical need for language preservation, Antar Chakma remarked, “Languages and alphabets fade into oblivion if left unpracticed. Today’s generation’s apathy towards their native languages and traditions has led us to the brink of losing our cultural heritage. Protecting our languages, culture, and traditions is a responsibility that falls upon the educated youth. Without language, our identity is at risk of disappearing. To counter cultural aggression and preserve our heritage, the youth must step forward with such creative initiatives.”

Sajib Tanchangya, President of the Rendezvous Art Group, expressed his dedication to the cause, stating, “This year, we have taken the initiative to teach alphabets in five indigenous languages. This effort reflects the responsibility of educated youth in safeguarding indigenous languages and cultures. I firmly believe that the knowledge gained from this workshop will enable both trainers and participants to actively contribute to language preservation, cultural promotion, and societal advancement.”

The workshop committee’s convener and Organizing Secretary further emphasized the importance of such initiatives, noting, “While many young indigenous individuals can speak their mother tongue, a majority struggle with their native scripts due to the lack of opportunities for daily practice. This initiative aims to address this challenge and create a platform for learning and preserving indigenous alphabets.”

The workshop, now in its second edition, will provide training in five indigenous languages—Rakhine, Mro, Tanchangya, Marma, and Chakma. With over 50 participants and skilled CU students serving as trainers, the month-long program aims to inspire a new generation of indigenous youth to cherish and uphold their linguistic heritage.
