Mother Tongue Twisters is an exciting forum to introduce and discuss the importance, relevance and the richness of languages and literary traditions beyond English. It is of special significance that the forum took shape in India, which is one of the richest parts of the world in its diversity of languages and literatures. It is also thrilling to see the variety of topics covered in the talks over the past year which range from bringing the Welsh language back from the brink of extinction to the Hindi translations of Ibsen. We are just reminded how much languages and their literatures contribute to an ever deeper human experience.
