International Mother Language Day

International Mother Language Day is celebrated every year on February 21st. It was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.

  

The main purpose of International Mother Language Day is to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting mother languages. It recognizes that languages are not just a means of communication but also an essential part of cultural identity and heritage.

On this day, various activities and events are organized worldwide to celebrate linguistic diversity. These may include language exhibitions, cultural performances, poetry readings, language competitions, and seminars on language preservation and revitalization.

International Mother Language Day also serves as a reminder of the need to protect endangered languages and promote language rights. It promotes the idea that all languages should be valued and preserved, as they contribute to the richness of human civilization.

By celebrating International Mother Language Day, people can learn about different languages and cultures, foster tolerance and understanding, and promote inclusive societies where all languages are respected and valued.
