Mother tongue is the inaugural issue of a multilingual publication initiated by İstasyon Publishing, exploring language as a living cultural archive. Bringing together research, essays, visual narratives, and artistic contributions, the publication focuses on three endangered or underrepresented languages spoken in Turkey—Anatolian Greek, Ladino, and Syriac—through everyday histories rather than institutional narratives. Edited by İpek Yeğinsü, Mother tongue approaches language as a site of memory, coexistence, and cultural continuity, positioning independent publishing as a tool for preserving voices that exist beyond dominant historical accounts.
