Home becomes a language you speak, not a place you live.
means A diaspora is a population scattered far from its ancestral homeland while still bound together by shared origin, memory, and identity.
from From Greek diaspeirein — dia 'across' + speirein 'to scatter or sow' — the same image as scattering seeds. It first named the dispersion of Jewish communities beyond Israel, then widened to describe any people spread across the world by exile, trade, or migration who still carry home with them.
