Introduction of Mahber May Tigrat

Mahber may tigrat was founded in the fifties of the twentieth century by the great artists in the capital Asmara, in abashauel neighborhood, which was formerly known as (Adqadhat).

Among that troupe was al-marhum Alameen Abdul-latif, Mr. Jaber Mahmud and their companions.

After stopping for decades, Mahber may tigrat was revived a gain in diaspora as non-profit Association for speakers of tigrait language in January 2021 by the generation of this Era, to complete the march of the fathers, to be Mahber may tigrat a unifying vessel for all members of Tigre community.

This is in order to preserve heritage, customs, traditional adher to culture, and emphasize the strength of relation fraternal, ethical and human relations with other societies in purely traditional dress.

Mahber may tigrat belives that language is more than a means of communication. Language is a vessel of culture and thought. It represents identity, heritage, civilization and history of the speaking community.

For this reason we care about our language and we emphasize the need to pass it on from generation to generation.

Mahber may tigrat believes that all Eritrean languages have equal values that deserve attention and development. There is no differentiation between the Eritrean languages.

Mahber may tigrat belives in building a healthy society that respect all citizen with their customs and traditions.

Mahber may tigrat does not believe in tigre as an identity of race, but rather it believes that the tigrait language is a culture, heritage, customs, traditions, history and civilization and represents everyone who shares these elements with us, he or she are a member of the Tigre nationality.

تعريف محبرماي تقرات

محبرماي تقرات أسست في الخمسينيات من القرن العشرون من قبل كبار الفنانين في عاصمةأسمرا في حي أباشاول الذي كان يعرف سابقًا بي(عدقدحت).

محبر ماي تقرات هي إمتداد لجمعية ربعت التي أسست في مدينة كرن قبل قرابة مئة عام ثم إنتقلت الفكرة عبر الفنانين من الناطقين بلغة التقرايت إلى العاصمة أسمرا وذالك للحفاظ على الثقافة والعادات والتقاليدليتوارثه أجيال أبناء مجتمع التقري .ومن ضمن تلك الفرقة كان الفنان المرحوم الأمين عبداللطيف والأستاذ جابر محمود ورفاقهم.وبعدتوقفها لعشرات السنين تمة إحياء محبرماي تقرات من جديد في المهجر،كجمعية غير ربحية للناطقين بلغة التقرايت في يناير ٢٠٢١ بجيل هذا العصر لتكملة مسيرة الأباء لتكون محبر ماي تقرات وعاءجامعة لكل أبناء مجتمع التقري.وذالك من أجل الحفاظ على التراث والعادات والتقاليد والتمسك بالثقافة والتأكيد على متانة العلاقات الأخوية والأخلاقية والإنسانية مع المجتمعات الأخرى بثوبها التقليدي البحت.

محبر ماي تقرات تؤمن بأن اللغة هي أكثر من وسيلة التواصل ،اللغة هي وعاء الثقافة والفكر وهي تمثل هوية وتراث وحضارة وتاريخ المجتمع الناطق بها.لهذه الأسباب نحن نهتم بلغتنا ونؤكد بضرورة توريثها أجيال بعد أجيال.

محبر ماي تقرات تؤمن بأن كل اللغات الإريترية لها قيم متساوية تستحق إهتمام وتطوير ولانفاضل بين اللغات الإريترية.

محبر ماي تقرات تؤمن ببناء مجتمع صحي يحترم كل المواطنين بعاداتهم وتقاليدهم.

محبر ماي تقرات لاتؤمن بالتقري كهوية العرق ، بل تؤمن بأن لغة التقرايت هي ثقافةوتراث وعادات وتقاليد وتاريخ و حضارة وتمثل كل من يشاركنا في هذه العناصر هو أو هي من أبناء قومية التقري ونرحب بالجميع.
