International Mother Language Day 2023

International Mother Language Day is an observance held annually on 21 February worldwide to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.

In 1952, 21st February was bengali language movement day. This is very historical day. In 2008 UNESCO published the day to 'International Year of Language' . I'm a bengali and very proud for tgis fay for late our brothers. This is my illustrations for this day. Source: Moment RF / Shamil Abdullah/Getty Images
