Bakit sinasabing "magkakamag-anak ang mga wikang katutubong Filipinas?

Ang mga wika sa Filipinas ay bahagi ng malaking pamilya ng mga wang Awstronesyo. Sinasaklaw ng pamilyang ito ang mga wika mulang Formosa sa hilaga hanggang New Zealand sa timog, mulang isla ng Madagascar sa may baybayin ng Aprika hanggang Easter Islands sa gitnang Pasipiko. Tinatantiyang umaabot sa 500 wika ang miyembro ng pamilyang Awstronesyo at sangwalo (1/8) ito ng mga wika ng mundo.

Ang totoo, ang pagiging magkakamag-anak ang isang malakas na batayan ng pagbigkis sa mga itinuturing na wikang katutubong Filipinas. Kahit mga nagsasariling wika, may mga nagkakaisang katangian ang mga wikang katutubo sa gramatika, sa estruktura ng pangungusap, sa leksikon, atbp. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit napakadali para sa sinumang Filipino na mag-aral ng ikalawang wika ny katutubo sa Filipinas. Sa napakaikling panahon ng pagtirá sa Iloilo ay maaaring matuto ng Ilonggo ang isang Kapampangan. Ito rin ang isang saligan sa pagpili ng isang wikang katutubo bilang batayan ng wikang pambansa. Higit na mabilis na magkakaunawaan ang mga Filipino sa buong kapuluan kung isa sa mga wikang katutubo ang magiging wikang pambansa, at kahit may mahigit 100 wikang katutubo ay higit na mabilis ding mabibigkis ng damdaming makabansa.

Ang pangyayaring magkakamag-anak ang mga wika sa Filipinas at mga wika sa paligid ng Karagatang Pasipiko ay ginagamit din ngayong saligan ng teorya hinggil sa naging migrasyon ng mga tao sa dakong ito ng mundo. May nagpapalagay na mali ang teorya noon hinggil sa "mga alon ng migrasyon" ng mga unang táong tumawid ng dagat mulang Indonesia at Malaysia patungo sa Filipinas. Sa binagong haka, ang paglalakbay dagat ng ating mga ninuno (sakay ng balangay) ay pasuling-suling, pabalik-balik, at walang tiyak na direksiyon. Sa gayon, maaari pa ngang ang nangyari ay mula sa kontinenteng Asyano ang mga unang dumaong sa Batanes at Hilagang Luzon, may nanirahan doon, may gumalugad sa kabundukan at kapatagan hanggang Gitnang Luzon, upang muling magtawid dagat patimog, dumaan sa Kabisayaan at Mindanaw, hanggang makarating sa Indonesia o Malaysia.

Naging matagumpay ang pagsasagawa ng pambukas na palatuntunan bilang hudyat ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong unang araw ng Agosto 2024 na may temang "Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya."

Pinangunahan ng Occidental Mindoro State College sa pamamagitan ng Sentro ng Wika at Kultura na pinamumunuan ni Dr. Arnulfo T. Villanueva ang gawain, sa pakikipagtulungan ng Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Bayan ng San Jose sa pamamagitan ng Lokal na Tanggapan ng Turismo.

Tampok sa pagdiriwang ang pagpapakilala sa Bantayog-Wika bilang simbolo ng pagpapahalaga sa kultura at mga wikang katutubo. Inilarawan ni Gng. Rowena C. Ulay, Puno ng Prograna sa MAT Filipino, ang naging kasaysayan ng pagpapatayo ng estruktura at ang kahalagahan nito sa pagpreserba ng ating mga katutubong wika. Aniya, ang Bantayog-Wika ay isang mahalagang pamana na magsisilbing inspirasyon para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.

Isinalaysay naman ni G. Vince Xian O. Casimero, Kawaksi sa mga Pamahalaang Panturismo, ang pinagmulan ng Danglayan at kung paano ito nagiging daan upang pagyamanin pa ang wika, kultura, at sining sa bayan. Binanggit niya ang layunin ng proyektong ito na palakasin ang kakayahan ng mga San Joseño sa larangan ng kultura at sining.

Bilang pagpupugay sa Wikang Filipino at katutubo, nag-alay ng bulaklak sa Bantayog-Wika sina Mayor Rey C. Ladaga – Punong Bayan ng LGU San Jose, Gng.

Sa kanyang mensahe, binigyang-diin ni Vice Mayor Santiago V. Javier, Jr. ang kahalagahan ng Wikang Filipino. Bagamat importante ang banyagang wika sa trabaho lalo na sa mga nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa, mahalaga pa ring pagtuonan ng pansin ang pag-aaral ng ating sariling wika.
