Today, February 21 International Mother Language Day


It is rare in the annals of history in world that a people have struggled in defence of their language, that in upholding the dignity of their mother tongue they have achieved supreme glory through martyrdom. The United Nations’ (UN) International Mother Language Day annually celebrates language diversity and variety worldwide on February 21. It also remembers events such as the killing of four students on February 21, 1952, because they campaigned to officially use their mother language, Bengali, in Bangladesh. The fight for language diversity has a history, especially in countries such as Bangladesh.

  1. Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm
    thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but
    I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for rookie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
