English TranslationI am wanting to speak.I am called Yasin Ibrahim.I was born in Mus’a Mado (a large k’ebele southeast of Bambassi town). I come from there.I am wanting to speak.In our country, there are not many Mao people, because they are few in number.And in the schools, (the Mao people) speak the Amharic and Oromo languages, even when they’re on the road.Whenever they (our children) speak in the schools, someone else's language is how they speak.The Mao people only know (use) Amharic and Oromo in the schools (because the teachers and non-Mao children don't understand Mao).When two or three Mao people are going down the road, girls,even at a place where there are other Mao people (they use Amharic or Oromo), even if it’s a place where no one else is!Having abandoned their language, they are just speaking (other languages). What manner of thing is this?ǃ(Because) there are not many Mao there (in Bambassi)Other nationalities are numerous; they (the Mao girls) only speak their (other nationalities’) languages because of this;“Our Mao language is a language that is not known,”How long (how much) will they say (this) to us?Their hearts simply lie about it, having abandoned their languageAnd, it's just the Oromo language and the Amhara’s (language) that they are speaking.This is not good, if such things are done.Our descendants know the way forward,Our language will be written in schools, in order for us ourselves to learn.We will move on, studying the Mao language like this.If you all know this,you will not be afraid (to speak the Mao language) whether you are in a place with people or in a place where there are no people.Current democratic rights, every nationality speaks in its own language;with their own languages, independently, they will live, speaking with one another and sitting together. This is what is said.There is a way. You have heard that yourselves and know it from school.even in a place with no one or even in a place with people,all of you, speak in our language!Raise up (your children speaking Mao)ǃ And even in every house,and also in your fathers' homes and also on the roads.Our language will start being used in the schools (Literally, ‘will be opened up’).Speaking like this: Please don’t turn back! Please don’t be afraid!I am saying (this) to all of you.
