Dear compatriot!
L'Association Circassienne Internationale reclame toute votre attention et fait appelle à votre capacité a vous unir depar ce discours.
The International Circassian Association invokes to your sincere
attention and ability to tune in onto the same wave-length by this
speech.
Les Circassiens (Adygheans) representent une nation notoire, honarable et respectable,
connue pour son hospitalité et l'entretien de rapport chaleureux
avec les peuples. Le besoin vital de mémoire (garder leurs traditions) coule dans leurs veines, ceci depuis les temps anciens.
Durant des milliers d'années pleines d'epreuves et de tragédies, le ciment et le symbole, noyau de la nation fut la langue Circassienne.
Aujourd'hui, leur langue Associée a leur mère patrie, majestueuse depuis le mont Elbrus(le chapeau d'or)
, forment les deux entités qui relient les tcherkesses de part le monde et leurs donnent bon espoir de transmettre leurs valeurs.
The Circassians (Adygheans) are a majestic nation of dignity and self
respect, known for the ability to maintain warm and hospitable relationships
with other peoples. Nevertheless, the very need of remaining genuine Circassians
has been in its blood since the ancient times. Through the thousands years full
of grieve and tragedy has it born the core symbol of the nation: the Circassian
language. Together with our durable motherland, beautified by Elbrus, its golden
hat, they are the things that connect and give us hope these days.
But it is obvious to any forward thinking Circassian that our amazing
mother tongue, which has absorbed all the fears, worries and feelings of the
nation, is swiftly sinking into oblivion. My people, let us preserve our
beautiful language, for the sake of our ancestors, whose blood runs in our
veins, for the sake of the ancient fatherland invoking to you, for the sake of
our offspring, whom our future, bright or dark, depends on.
None but God knows the future; in that case, let us not do something
to our growing generation for which we shall be reproached tomorrow, let us not
deprive them of the fascinating language, which has God the Almighty endowed on
them.
The best institution to teach our offspring our language is the
family; therefore, we invoke you to
preserve the
Circassian language in your families, speak Circassian to your children and let
us communicate Circassians.
