International Mother Language Day is observed globally on 21st February to recognize and promote multilingual diversity. The aim behind this day is to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by the people of the world. In the era of Globalization and Digitalization, several local languages are on the verge of extinction. This day also aims to preserve and transmit traditional knowledge and cultures through multilingual societies.
