International Mother Language Day
Today is UNESCO's International Mother Language Day. (We first read about this over at Out of the Woods Now, where a recent talk given by David Crystal on endangered languages — entitled "The Future of Languages" — was being recapped.)
The year 2008 was also proclaimed by the United Nations to be the Year of International Languages, with the slogan "Language Matters!" and an aim to educate about and protect endangered languages. (SUZANNE)
