  February 21 - International Mother Language Day




Why This Day Is Special?

This UNESCO-proclaimed day promotes linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism worldwide. It recognizes that languages are crucial for identity, communication, social integration, education, and development. The day emphasizes the importance of preserving and protecting all languages, especially indigenous and endangered ones, as they carry unique cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. It highlights the power of mother tongues in shaping individual and collective identities.

History Behind the Day

 The idea for International Mother Language Day came from Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) to commemorate the sacrifice of students who died in 1952 protesting for their right to use their mother tongue, Bangla. UNESCO officially proclaimed February 21 as International Mother Language Day in 1999. The UN General Assembly formally recognized it in 2002. It serves as a reminder of the importance of linguistic rights and the richness of global linguistic heritage.
