As part of the \u201cMediating Multilingualism\u201d colloquium held at Amity University Haryana, Gordon Wells was invited to speak about Island Voices. Here are his introductory remarks:<\/p>\n
\u201cLatha math, a ch\u00e0irdean. Tha e na urram dhomh a bhith a\u2019 bruidhinn ribh aig a\u2019 choinneamh an seo, agus tha mi airson taing mh\u00f2r a thoirt dhan fheadhainn a rinn obair mh\u00f2r airson a cur air d\u00f2igh. Agus tha mi gu math d\u00f2chasach gum bi deagh ch\u00f2mhradh againn thairis air an d\u00e0 latha a tha romhainn.<\/p>\n
Much as I would love to continue speaking in my mother\u2019s Mother Tongue for the next half hour, I suppose I should switch to our shared Other Tongue for the purposes of EFFECTIVE communication across languages, with some regret if the communication loses some of its AFFECTIVE power through not being delivered in what my mother claimed to be the \u201cLanguage of Eden\u201d! (I was just saying it\u2019s an honour to be here, and we\u2019re very grateful to our Amity colleagues for all the preparatory work to set this colloquium up.)<\/p>\n
I plan to outline the development of the project over the last 10 to 12 year period, give an overview of its component parts, and generally talk about how it works. It\u2019s a project that was designed and developed to meet a particular geographical and linguistic need. Whether any of its elements may be open to transfer or adaptation to other contexts is an open question, which I would hope we may be able to discuss in due course.<\/p>\n

In the UK, and perhaps also Ireland, recognition and acceptance of multilingualism in culture and society is an ongoing challenge. How India handles these issues on a much wider scale is of keen interest to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
