Language is a fundamental skill, essential for learning and communication. Historically, tools like the Nikandus played a crucial role in language education, encompassing literature and grammar. Mastery of a language was once synonymous with memorizing these Nikandus, and they were a cornerstone of the educational system. Given their former importance, it's surprising that the Nikandus are largely unknown in modern education. This begs the question: why has this once-vital resource faded into obscurity?
