Beyond being a communication tool, language is also an important fabric of personal identity, cultural identity and national identity. Language encapsulates history, values, and diverse expressions that could bind communities in a collective identity.

We discuss with Dr Surinderpal Kaur, Dean of Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, University Malaya.
