A ghattee language conference!
by UP Guy on Mar 21, 2008 01:50 PM

Ghatee language is such an inferior language with horrendous sound and limited vocabulary that just about every mavali qualifies to be a literary figure. For example, in literary conferences of the ghaatee language, people get together, then move in circles and chant:

Hikde Tikde Sagra Baju
Hikde Tikde Sagra Baju
....................

And these chants become increasingly rhythmic, periodic, and louder.
Ghaatee land is the home land of kolis, and that is why their language is
so primitive! It has no literature which any one outside of the ghaateeland
knows of. Therefore, ghaateee culture and language should be simply dismissed
out of hands. In my opinion, it will be a crime against decency if outsiders
develop any respect for the ghaatee culture.
