25th edition of 2024 International Mother Tongue Day
25th edition of 2024 International Mother Tongue Day speech by the Nkwen language project coordinator
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests,
It is with great honor and pride that we gather here today to celebrate the 25th edition of International Mother Tongue Day, under the theme: Multilingual education, a pillar of apprenticeship and inter-generational learning. As we reflect on the significance of this occasion, we are reminded of the importance of linguistic diversity, cultural heritage, and the vital role that mother tongues play in shaping our identities and societies.
Language is more than just a means of communication; it is a reflection of our history, values, and traditions. Our mother tongues are at the core of our cultural identities, connecting us to our roots and shaping our unique perspectives on the world. They carry the wisdom, stories, and knowledge passed down through generations, enriching our lives and communities in profound ways.
On this special day, let us reaffirm our commitment to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity in Nkwen, recognizing the beauty and richness that Nkwen language and each language brings to the textile of human civilization. Let us celebrate the unique sounds, words, and expressions that make each mother tongue a treasure worth cherishing and protecting.
As we mark the 25th edition of International Mother Tongue Day, today February 21st 2024, let us pledge to empower future generations (children and youths) to embrace their linguistic heritage, to value the languages of others, and to build bridges of understanding and respect across cultures. Let us work together to ensure that every voice is heard, every story is told, and every language is valued for the unique perspective it offers.
Together, let us celebrate the beauty of Nkwen language, the power of diversity, and the unifying force of communication that transcends borders and brings us closer as a global community. Happy International Mother Tongue Day 2024 to all!
Thank you.
