International Mother Language Day is an observance held annually on 21 February worldwide to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. It was first announced by UNESCO on 17 November 1999. Its

observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution establishing 2008 as the

International Year of Languages.[1]International Mother Language Day originated as the international recognition of

Language Movement Day, which has been commemorated in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) since 1952, when a number of University of Dhaka

students were killed by the Pakistani police and army in Dhaka during Bengali Language Movement protests.

On 21 March 1948, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the Governor general of Pakistan, declared that Urdu would be the only official language for both West and

East Pakistan. The people of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), whose main language is Bangla, started to protest against this. On 21 February 1952, (8

Falgun 1359 in the Bangla calendar), students in the present day capital city of Dhaka called for a provincial strike. The government invoked a limited curfew to prevent this and the protests were tamed down so as to not break the curfew.

The Pakistani police fired on the students despite these peaceful protests and a number of students were killed
