BHILODI LANGUAGE IN GUJARATI MEDIUM SCHOOL

 

We enquired a Gujarati school teacher, "Why did you decide to teach the lesson in Bhilodi?" She answered, "If we teach them in Gujarati language the Bhilodi speaking Bhil students cannot understand. Because at their home they speak only Bhilodi. So, we taught them in Bhilodi language which they speak in their home so that they can understand clearly." 

 

How Gujarati teacher learnt Bhilodi language

 

A teacher whose mother tongue is Gujarati speaks Bhilodi language clearly. She explains why she learnt Bhilodi, “At first when I was teaching them in Gujarati the students simply stared because they could not understand Gujarati language. For the sake of the students I learnt Bhilodi.

 

Importance of the Bible Translation in one’s own Mother tongue

 

As the Bhils could not understand even the lessons taught in the Gujarati how can they read and understand the Holy Bible in Gujarati language. To understand the Word of God they should have the Living Word in their own language. So please pray that the Holy Bible should be given to them at the earliest at His time.
