International Mother Language Day
A child waves the Bangladesh flag on the street in front of the Shahid Minar to celebrate International Mother Language Day, 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. Language Martyrs Day is marked in Bangladesh 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.
