I love my language..Maithili. But I never admitted it to anyone. Because I never considered it as a LANGUAGE. I can't single out a particular reason, but I guess we are socialized that way, according to our constitution and also by our curriculum. Like I was taught in my childhood a very technical aspect of language is that language changes with longer distance, and dialect changes with shorter distance.
Although Maithili was included as a language in the constitution. But it was after the session I became more comfortable in accepting the fact, yes THE FACT that my mother tongue is a language.
