Significance of International Mother Language
Languages are essential carriers of identity, tradition, and history. The loss of a language leads to the disappearance of unique cultural expressions, indigenous knowledge, and traditional practices.
This day raises awareness about the urgent need to document, revitalize, and protect endangered languages.
With approximately 8,324 languages in the world today, many are at risk of disappearing due to globalization and societal changes.
Ensuring that education systems support the right to learn in one's mother tongue is crucial for improving learning outcomes, as students who are taught in a language they fully understand show better comprehension, engagement, and critical thinking skills.
