‍Learn more about why we celebrate this holiday with the information below:

• International Mother Language Day is celebrated on February 21st every year.
• The purpose of the day is to celebrate and appreciate the different languages spoken around the world, and to encourage people to learn and use their mother language, which is the language they grew up speaking at home.
• The day is meant to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and passing on mother languages to future generations.
• Learning and using one's mother language can help people connect with their cultural identity and heritage.
• Many people around the world speak more than one language, and being able to speak multiple languages can also help people communicate with a wider range of people and better understand other cultures.
