International Mother Language Day. Students in their 20s sitting at a table with their hands up.

International Mother Language Day takes place on the 21st of February every year. It’s a day dedicated to promoting linguistic and cultural diversity, as well as multilingualism. The day was first announced by UNESCO in 1999 and has been celebrated annually since 2000.

This day recognises the importance of preserving and protecting all languages used by people globally. It encourages individuals and communities to remember their mother language’s cultural significance and importance in education and societal development. International Mother Language Day is about more than language preservation; it’s about fostering global understanding and respect for cultural diversity.
