International Mother Language Day

A child with her mother paints on the street in front of the Shahid Minar, the Language Movement Mausoleum, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on February 20, 2026, as part of preparations for the forthcoming Language Martyrs Day and International Mother Language Day. Bangladesh marks Language Martyrs Day to commemorate 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.
