Preparetion Of International Mother Language Day In Dhaka, Bangladesh
A Bangladeshi worker paints on the ground of the Central Shahid Minar in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on February 18, 2026, as part of preparations for the forthcoming Language Martyrs Day and International Mother Language Day. Language Martyrs Day is marked in Bangladesh to memorialize those who die during protests on February 21, 1952, against the then Pakistani state's government's decision to name Urdu as the national language, despite East Pakistan's (now Bangladesh) Bengali-speaking majority.
