    MOHAMMAD AMINUL ISLAM AND MOHAMMAD ZAMAN EKUSHEY FEBRUARY – INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY: HISTORY, SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES1 1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Ever since its declaration By the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in NovemBer 1999, International Mother Language Day (IMLD) is celeBrated gloBally every year on 21st FeBruary. The celeBration aims at enhancing awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions all over the world By protecting and promoting all languages and linguistic diversity for multilingual education. The UNESCO declaration honored the people around the world who speak aBout 7000 distinct mother tongues/languages in some 188 countries. Unfortunately, many native/indigenous languages in various countries, including Canada, are now extinct and/or threatened By more dominant languages. According to one source, one language dies every 14 days; as a result, By 2100, nearly half of the 7000 languages that are spoken will most likely have disappeared (ABBi 2017).2 Today, close to 3000 mother tongues, particularly those of native/indigenous or First Nations people, are seriously endangered. Therefore, use of and/or speaking one’s mother tongue/language in a multiethnic and multilingual country like Canada is still not something that we can all take for granted. Canada has only two official languages (English and French), But we speak more than 300 mother tongues/languages in our homes across Canada. The worldwide annual oBservance of IMLD has given rise to a new awareness regarding the importance of saving our mother tongues, and the value of multilingualism and linguistic and cultural diversity. We are thankful for the invitation to present on the Background and significance of IMLD at the Canada 150 Conference on Migration of Bengalis to British Columbia.
