“The commemoration of International Mother Language Day highlights the increasing
importance of safeguarding linguistic heritage and preserving languages as vital channels
of communication across civilisations. This occasion offers an opportunity to raise
awareness on the significance of maintaining linguistic diversity and protecting
endangered languages. As an integral aspect of culture and a fundamental component of
national identity, the responsibility of safeguarding the mother tongue lies with both
institutions and societies. This commitment begins within the family, where language and
cultural values are first instilled in individuals.
