Adgilis Deda

Adgilis deda is a character in Georgian mythology who is often referred to as the "Mother of Languages." She is believed to have created all the languages spoken in the world today.

Imagine that you are playing with building blocks. You take different sized and shaped blocks and put them together to make a tower, a bridge, or a castle. Adgilis deda did something similar, but instead of building with blocks, she created languages.

She took sounds, words, and grammar rules and put them together like building blocks to create different languages, just like how you put blocks together to create something new.

When people speak different languages, it can sometimes be hard to understand each other. Adgilis deda wanted people to communicate and understand each other better, so she created different languages to help people connect and share ideas.

Just like how you might use a different color or shape of block to make something different or stronger, Adgilis deda used different sounds and words to make languages that were unique and useful in different ways.

Through Adgilis deda's creation of various languages, people can communicate with each other and share their ideas and perspectives on the world.
