CERTIFICATE – WORLD’S YOUNGEST MULTILINGUAL TYPIST
Mahmood Akram (Born on 12th February 2006) from Tamilnadu, India achieved the record “World’s Youngest Multilingual Typist”. He can type in 50 different languages on computer keyboard. He typed the word “UNIQUE WORLD RECORDS” in all 50 languages on the occasion of Unique World Records – Annual Award Distribution Function held at Hotel Bahia Fort, Bathinda (Punjab) on 24th August, 2014.
It is not so easy to type in one language. Before we type any language we must know the basic alphabets and its logographic or the mixing techniques must be registered in our mind with 100% accuracy.
For example, we all aware that in Tamil language there are 247 alphabets. But if you join the north Indian alphabets the total comes to 299. If these 299 characters are registered in our mind with 100% accuracy, then only we may be able type in Tamil language.
In this manner, if you take Sinhala language of Sri Lanka, it consists of 680 characters. Apart from this there are 1764 logographic letters. In Tamil there is no logographic letters whereas in Sinhala language these logographic letters have special characters in the keyboard. Also there are single character letters available in Sinhala language. Combining all these there are 2404 characters and only when we know these characters then only we can type in Sinhala language.
As on date this boy knows 200 languages typing. That means more than 1,50,000characters must be registered in the brain and then only this achievement is possible. To register 1,50,000 characters in our brain is a very big achievement.
Next, in computer keyboard, the function of the key (letter) differs as per the selection of the language. For example: in keyboard if you press “U” you will get “Ra” in Tamil and it comes “A” in Arabic and in Hindi it comes as “Ha”. In this without any confusion operating the keyboard as per the language is not an easy task.
Before learning any language, a child’s father will teach the letters as well as the pronunciation of that particular letter and then comes the typing assignment. In this unique case, the father did not teach him directly but taught him through skype and email because his father was working abroad. This boy himself has developed self-taught skill and learnt all the letters is an amazing factor.
The parents did not pressurize this lad and he excelled in his studies also and secured “A” Grade. Everyday morning between 5-7 am he had allotted this time and developed this skill. Not only this, he had developed a secret-code model with which any one can learn any language so easily.
This genius had typed the First Chapter of Holy Quran (Surah Alfatiha) translation in 160 languages, he typed it flawlessly in 6 hours and made a record. This boy’s skill must be brought to the knowledge of this world. Moreover his father is making all the possible effects to see that this Master’s name must appear in the Guinness Book of World Record.
