International Mother Language Day is a UNESCO proclaimed day, which is celebrated all over the world to preserve and promote all the languages of the world. UNESCO picked the day February 21 as the International Mother Language Day to commemorate the event of the famous Language Movement in Bangladesh in 1952, where many people sacrificed their lives for the right of speaking their own mother language Bangla.
Here, the residents of Arizona speak in many different languages, even though English is the common language medium for communication. We have been celebrating IMLD in Arizona to promote all those different languages on this very special event as a Language Festival for almost a decade now.
Mayors of different Arizona cities, Arizona House and other Government offices are proclaiming the day as International Mother Language Day like every year. Some of the dignitaries will be joining to enjoy the event.
Many of you are very much familiar of this event and had participated in the past. We need all your help to make this very special event a successful one this year.
