International Mother Language Day
This holiday commemorates Language Movement Day, a holiday started in Bangladesh, by a group of college students who wanted to promote their traditional language, or mother tongue. They were killed by Pakistani police and army.
To honor their memory the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) created International Language Day to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
A Way To Celebrate
Appreciating your own language is good, but learning and appreciating someone else's is even better. We are all different, but hopefully we will one day be able to come together in peace. Learning how to communicate with one another is one step in that direction.
