Even in rural Dzongkha literate areas, Sign boards are meant for only English literates..! |
Dzongkha as a national language of Bhutan has been a topic
of discussion concerning its development. But remained suppressed under English
and was not able to rise to the level of English.
We saw arguments and discussions from many angles but for me
the reason why Dzongkha cannot pick up its use even with a tag of national language is quite curious. No one had convincing argument but this elder man (Memey)
from a remote part of Bhutan was a convincing one for me.
