Advocate Bikram Singh Sidhu, a social worker in Ludhiana gives Millions of congratulations to all on international mother language day by highlighting the importance of mother language day.
Languages are the most impressive approach to save and create culture.
International Mother Language Day recognizes that languages and multilingualism can advance inclusion and the Sustainable Development Goals focus on leaving nobody. UNESCO believes education, based on the first language or mother tongue, should start from the early years as early childhood care and education is the foundation of learning. International Mother Language Day is a worldwide annual observance on 21 February to promote awareness of linguist and cultural variety and to advance multilingualism. It was in the year 1999, that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) introduced the subject of mother language and the issues that individuals in Bangladesh confronted (at that point Pakistan) at the UN General Conference, and since after the year 2000, this day has been seen as International Mother Language Day across the globe. The idea to celebrate this day was started by Bangladesh, and it so occurred, after an extensive period of battle. A UNESCO goal expresses that acknowledgment and regard for social variety in the field of language arouse genuine fortitude since it depends on values like understanding, tolerance, and dialogue.
This day denotes the recognition of the Movement for the Language Commemorated in Bangladesh continuously of the Movement for the Language since 1952, when the police and the army of the Pakistani state, at that point involving Bangladesh, started shooting at the horde of Bengali speakers fighting for their language rights in Dhaka. It reviews the extraordinary penance in 1952 of five Dhaka understudies who gave their lives for the Bangla to be perceived as the authority language of East Pakistan, presently Bangladesh.
Mother language refers to the first language a child learns. Etymologically, the mother tongue is the one the mother speaks to her child. It is, thusly, the language that cradles him all his childhood and evokes love, the family circle. Obviously, many individuals speak their mother tongue in their daily lives, basically in light of the fact that this language is predominant in the possessed spot. However, there are similarly as not practice their primary language consistently: migrants, offspring of outsiders, individuals living in districts where a local language and an official language coexists.
The International Mother Language Day should be considered as a magnificent opportunity to maintain this noble objective of a culture of harmony that can just emerge in a space where everybody has the opportunity to use their native language, freely and fully, altogether the various conditions of life. It is inside the framework of its command for harmony that UNESCO works to protect the differences in cultures and languages that promote tolerance and respect for others.
UNESCO's 2021 International Mother Language Day theme is "fostering multilingualism for inclusion in education and society.” It recognizes that languages and multilingualism can advance inclusion, and the Sustainable Development Goals focus on leaving no one behind.
Current International Mother Language Day occasions include multicultural festivals which promote the hearing of all voices and display social cohesion, cultural awareness, and tolerance. The unique subtleties and nuances of linguistic communication which connect individuals to culture and personal personality are valued and encouraged.
