International Mother Language Day is a global observance that celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity and promotes the importance of preserving and promoting local languages. This annual event is held on February 21st, in honor of the Language Movement of Bangladesh in 1952, when students and activists fought for the recognition of Bengali as an official language of the country.
International Mother Language Day was first proclaimed by UNESCO in 1999 to promote the preservation and protection of all languages, especially those that are endangered or at risk of disappearing. The day also raises awareness of the role of language in shaping our identities and connecting us to our cultural heritage.
Each year, International Mother Language Day is celebrated around the world through various activities and events, such as language fairs, cultural performances, and educational programs. The day is an opportunity to recognize the value of linguistic diversity and the need to support language rights and education for all.
Whether you are a language lover, a cultural enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the power of words, we invite you to join us in celebrating International Mother Language Day and promoting a world where all languages are valued and preserved.
