Importance of “Kamath Basa”

කකකකකකකක.
“Language is the expression of
our culture and our land. We
cannot have one without the
others. We cannot describe
our culture and our land if we
do not have language.”
(Queensland Indigenous Languages Advisory Committee, 2006 )
What is “kamath basa”?
• In the past farmers used a different, strange & an
inherent language in the fields.
• This language which respected to the paddy field & its
operations was termed as “Govi Basa” or “Kamth
Basa”.
• Today in paddy operations, old rituals & animals have
been replaced with modern machineries.
• Therefore the culture which had been built around draft
cattle is being decreasing rapidly. “The Kamath Basa”
has faced the same pathetic situation.
• It is being flown away from the minds of the
people, even from the farmers today.
