అంతర్జాతీయ మాతృభాషా దినోత్సవం
International Mother Language Day (IMLD)
is a worldwide annual observance held on 21 February to promote awareness of
linguistic and cultural diversity and promote multilingualism. First announced
by UNESCO on 17 November 1999, it was formally recognized by the United Nations
General Assembly in a resolution establishing 2008 as the International Year of
Languages. The idea to celebrate International Mother Language Day was the
initiative of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh the 21 February is the anniversary of
the day when Bangladeshis fought for recognition for the Bangla language.
“Languages are the most powerful
instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage.
All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to
encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop
fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and
to inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue.”
