Language, culture and heritage are the cornerstones of civilizations - ancient, medieval and present. It is very difficult to draw the lines of demarcation between languages, cultures and heritage of different regions
because these are interwoven and overlapping. Language is a medium of -expression of feelings, emotions, reason, prudence, passions and vision. Mankind since time irnmemorial has evolved different modes of expression, écalled tongues, dialects or languages. A language is a living organism, 'which originates, develops and dies. There are so many languages that have died away and are extinct now. l Culture re?ects the macro and micro behavioural structure of a society :generally accepted. All practices that people undertake, adopt or follow {consciously for their economic, social, political, moral, religious or spiritual
satisfaction come under the garb of culture. These practices, rites, rituals, =;customs, traditions, arts, architecture, food and dress etc. become part of . their individual and collective life and pass on from generation to -generation. It is a process of history and differentiates one community from other, one nation from other and one time span from the other. It is e a tree that has its roots in the past, branches in the present and shades future.
