From Tamil to Cree to Mandarin, these stand-up comedians are using their mother tongue to land punchlines | CBC Radio
Across Canada, a growing number of comedians are turning to their mother tongues on stage — not just as a stylistic choice, but as a way to tell more honest stories, reclaim histories shaped by migration and colonialism, and introduce audiences to perspectives not often heard.

By Steve Hendrix and Amanda Ferguson

In Belfast, even in Unionist neighborhoods, Gaeilge, the once-outlawed Irish language, is enjoying a remarkable resurgence with new schools and bilingual signs.
