There are countless languages in the world. According to preliminary estimates, their number is about 6 thousand. Each language is an instrument for reflecting national culture, an instrument for the development and preservation of spiritual and material heritage. The language of each nation is unique and has original expressions that reflect the mentality and traditions of the nation. Language shapes a person’s consciousness; knowledge of a language helps to broaden one’s horizons and penetrate deeper into the culture of another country. Recognition and respect of all languages helps maintain world peace. Since 1999, at the initiative of the General Conference of UNESCO, International Mother Language Day has been celebrated around the world on February 21 as a reminder of the need to promote the development of multinational linguistic culture, its diversity and multilingualism.
Native language, native speech,
He has been with us since childhood,
He is in the gentle whisper of foliage,
In the words of father and mother.
He is in fairy tales, songs and poems,
In the oath and in the anthem
And without a native language
Any people will die.
Me on Mother Language Day
I wish you to keep it,
We could have children after us
Talk to your native land.
Happy International Day
Mother tongue
Congratulations to everyone
Living on the planet
On it the earth speaks to you,
And from the cradle his children hear him.
I wish you to take care of your native language,
In him is the strength and soul of the people,
Free song
Let the native speech flow,
Paving the way through centuries and years.
Our native, beloved language,
We can't live in the world without you,
That you are very great
Both adults and children know!
We should all love you,
Always express yourself with dignity
Keep your tongue like a diamond
And admire the beauty!
We celebrate together with the people,
We are Mother Language Day,
And congratulations to everyone today,
You should always teach it!
Do not forget, and always remember,
And repeat the rules all over again,
Our native language is very important to us,
We must respect him!
Your native language is your land,
It is spoken by forests and fields.
The river speaks smoothly on it,
The ship's whistle echoes her response.
On it my mother sings a lullaby,
The child learns his native speech.
There is no people without a language,
I congratulate you on your native language day.
Peoples live on a large planet,
Let everyone take care of their native language.
To save it for the children
And talk to your land.
The native language is the most important
It has love, care, mother.
Remembering the native word,
We are turning back time.
Native speech hurts the soul so much,
When alone in a foreign country.
And it’s so invigorating when you’re standing there,
On our native Russian soil.
On this holiday I wish everyone
Don't lose your native word.
Mother tongue from the bottom of my heart,
Love, appreciate and praise.
International Mother Language Day
I congratulate you on this glorious date,
I wish you lexically always
Be literate, savvy, rich.
Let your speech always sound pure,
Don't let bad words spoil her,
Your native language will help you object
And insist confidently and firmly.
We need to value our native language
After all, we must take care of it!
Let's learn the language together
After all, this is important for the country!
May our speech be beautiful
Let's write correctly
And thoughts and ideas are clear
Always express to each other!
Mother Language Day
We definitely need it!
Let's speak Russian,
Let’s forget both slang and swearing for a day,
We know thousands of beautiful words,
Let's look for them in our heads -
A beautiful speech will flow, yes, yes!
Perhaps you won’t want another one then?
No native language
Life wouldn't be easy.
How then should we express ourselves?
How to confess your love?
We are lucky with the language
He's handsome to spite everyone
How should a diamond be protected?
We speak our own language!
Congratulations: 68 in verse, 8 in prose.
International Mother Language Day is celebrated annually around the world on February 21. This holiday was established on November 17, 1999 by the General Conference of UNESCO, and began to be celebrated in February 2000. The main goal of the International Mother Language Day holiday is to promote linguistic and cultural diversity in the world.
Let us recall that the year 2008 was declared in a resolution of the UN General Assembly International Year languages, and 2010 became the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures.
Languages are considered to be the most effective tool allowing to preserve and develop the material and spiritual heritage of any nation. Today there are about 6 thousand languages in the world. According to UNESCO, in the near future, approximately half of them may lose their last carriers and completely disappear.
About 80% of African languages have no written language at all. The trend of language extinction will only intensify in the future.
A language can survive if at least 100,000 people speak it. Languages are disappearing not only in the modern world, this has always happened, sometimes extinct languages did not even leave a trace. However, never before have languages disappeared so quickly. Very often, the extinction of languages was caused by the desire of rulers to achieve the unity of their country; for this they had to force the people to use one common language.
One of the most important goals of International Mother Language Day is to protect endangered languages. The problem of disappearing languages is very relevant today, because in the world currently about two languages disappear every month.
The emergence of new technologies has made it increasingly difficult for national minorities to achieve recognition of their languages. This is due to the rapid development of the Internet throughout the world. And today it is believed that a language that is not represented on the Internet does not exist at all. It is estimated that about 81% of all pages on the Internet are written in English language. It is followed by a huge margin by German and Japanese, French, Spanish and Scandinavian languages.
UNESCO even created a special portal for national minorities located in unfavorable conditions. It allows these people to access human knowledge and education.
Meaning of mother tongue
Language is a system of sound and written symbols that people use to convey their thoughts and feelings. Scientists generally agree that language arose about half a million years ago. However, so far none of them can explain with certainty how exactly its origin occurred. All languages on our planet are approximately equal in structural complexity.
Our material and spiritual heritage develops and is preserved precisely thanks to them. Each language is unique in its own way, and therefore represents a very great cultural value, which we must try to preserve for as long as possible.
Any steps aimed at the dissemination of mother tongues contribute to linguistic diversity and multilingual education. People around the world need to become more familiar with the linguistic and cultural traditions of their countries. This makes it possible to strengthen solidarity based on mutual understanding and dialogue.
It is necessary to pay a lot of attention to the native language, because... it is a tool for communication, reflection and perception, and describes our vision of the world. In addition, language is also capable of reflecting the connection between the past, present and future, and serves as a means of expressing creativity.
Our native language leaves a unique imprint on each of us from the moment we are born. In addition to his native language, a person can also master foreign languages. This allows us to experience another culture and a different worldview. Each language has unique expressions that reflect the mentality and customs of the people speaking it. A person comprehends his native language from infancy. Even in the womb, the child already hears speech. When he is born, he gradually begins to speak the language spoken by the people around him in the family.
We can say that our native language shapes our consciousness within the framework of the culture that is embedded in it.
However, science has proven that if a person speaks only one language, then part of his brain develops less, and his creative abilities also do not develop fully. Therefore, learning foreign languages is very useful for our development. It should be noted that children learn foreign languages much easier than for adults.
Traditions for the holiday February 21
On this festive day of February 21, International Mother Language Day, various exhibitions, concerts and presentations dedicated to languages are held at UNESCO Headquarters and its branches around the world.
To protect languages, UNESCO even plans to create a preventive monitoring system. This system will help monitor the status of those languages that are threatened with complete extinction, and will also help improve the situation.
It should be noted that the date of the celebration coincides with the date of the holiday, which is celebrated in Bangladesh in memory of the bloody events of the middle of the last century. Then, in 1952, supporters of the Bengali language being recognized official language East Pakistan were brutally massacred by the Pakistani police.
In our multinational country there are a large number different languages. Moreover, 136 of them were recognized by UNESCO as endangered in 2009.
In different cities of our country for the holiday of February 21 - International Day native language - they try to coincide with various events and actions to protect the Russian language.
Many people do not like the current situation that has developed around modern means mass communication. All of them widely use profanity, slang, criminal language, a huge amount foreign words and so on. All this contributes to the pollution of the Russian language.
Date in 2019: .
For most people, it is natural to communicate and convey emotions in their native language. Only man has received such a unique gift - to have the gift of speech. And within the framework of one article it is difficult to reveal the depth, the magic that is hidden behind this gift. People at the international level tried to emphasize the originality and uniqueness of each language, each dialect, by creating a holiday of the same name - International Mother Language Day.
From birth, a person hears unfamiliar sounds that flow from the lips of a loved one in song. It is these initially incomprehensible sounds that later become the child’s native language.
And there is no way to make you forget those very first, very dear words. After all, a person remembers up to 80% of words before the age of 7 years. Therefore, the language of childhood becomes the closest for life. And even if only a few hundred people speak it, it will still warm your soul and heart, because it is the language you are used to thinking, it is the language the heroes of your dreams speak.
Language is the spiritual heritage of the nation
Real political battles and even warriors often developed around the topic of language. The way to communicate was dictated not only by the social order, but also by many other conventions.
From time immemorial, every people and nationality has tried to preserve its originality, the main expression of which was language. But circumstances and realities often developed in such a way that local dialects were oppressed or completely prohibited by the colonialists or conquerors. Thus, in many English and French colonies, the native language was simply supplanted over the years due to new laws.
In addition, small peoples are simply dying out. Their language also disappears. According to statistics, about 24 dialects disappear on the planet every year. Only in Russia 2 adverbs are forgotten every year.
Immediately after the revolution, there were up to 193 languages on the territory of the current Russian Federation, and by the end of 1991 there were only 140 of them left.
It cannot be said that human evolution has not previously encountered the birth of new dialects and the extinction of old languages. But in the 20th century this process accelerated significantly.
Development information technologies gave impetus to the spread international languages with the actual suppression of those that are little used. In fact, it turns out that a language that is not on the Internet actually does not exist. But out of 6,000 adverbs today, 69% are used by only 1/25 of the Earth’s inhabitants. And 80% of African dialects have no written language at all.
Therefore, it is believed that almost half of the languages known today are on the verge of extinction. This is precisely the problem that is being voiced on International Mother Language Day.
history of the holiday
Issues related to the preservation of a certain dialect have recently become more acute. After all, the dominant position of the English language on the Internet reaches unimaginable positions. This is 81%, while the same German and Japanese account for 2%, French and Spanish occupy a niche of 1% each. Somewhere among the remaining 8% is Russian.
What can we say about rare dialects? Therefore, the initiator of celebrating Mother Language Day was the small country of Bangladesh, which only achieved independence and recognition in 1971.
This idea was supported by UNESCO and since 2000, International Mother Language Day has been celebrated all over the world.
The date of the holiday was associated with a tragic event that occurred in 1952 in Pakistan. Students demonstrated on February 21 to defend their language. However, the demonstrators were shot by the police. But despite such a sad outcome of the event, the Bengali language, with which the riots were associated, was declared official in the country.
It is on February 21 in 2017 that a holiday associated with the protection of the native language as a unique heritage of humanity will be celebrated in Russia and the whole world.
Mother Language Day in Russia
The Russian language has always been a national pride for its speakers. After all, it was this language that was spoken by famous classics and emperors, scientists and travelers who glorified Russia.
It is the Russian language that has the status of the state language on the territory of Russia. However, today Russian Federation- a multinational state. And each nation has its own language, dialect and associated traditions.
On Mother Language Day, the goal of Russians is not only to emphasize their national pride state language, but also to talk about the importance of the language of small nations, the uniqueness of the dialects of national minorities. And everything must be done so that these dialects do not disappear, but remain, preserved as national pride, the identity of the entire population of Russia.
But it so happened that Russian speakers live not only in Russia. Many Russian speakers live abroad. And in modern geopolitical conditions, the attitude of some states towards their Russian-speaking citizens is simply puzzling.
It’s hard to judge who is to blame for the current realities, but on International Mother Language Day, February 21, I would like to wish people who find themselves in such a situation patience and not to forget, no matter what, their truly native dialect.
Congratulations in prose and poetry
The word has always inspired the soul, the word called to victory and on the road, with a word you can inspire and calm, give hope and make you happy. Only native words, native speech caress the ear and warm the heart. And even in a foreign land a person tries to hear his native speech. So don't forget about your native language. And if you expect respect for your native dialect on a holiday, and not only treat any languages with respect.
What could be dearer and closer,
The native country, its people.
What could be more expensive?
Native word and friends.
And fill your soul with words:
Communicate, think and read.
Don't give your enemies a chance, remember
And don't forget your language.
Larisa, February 9, 2017.International Mother Language Day, proclaimed by the General Conference of UNESCO in November 1999, has been celebrated every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
Languages are the most powerful tool for preserving and developing our material and spiritual heritage. According to UNESCO estimates, half of the world's 6 thousand languages may soon lose their last speakers.
All steps to promote the spread of mother tongues serve not only to promote linguistic diversity and multilingual education, developing greater familiarity with linguistic and cultural traditions around the world, but also strengthen solidarity based on mutual understanding, tolerance and dialogue.
This is what he says about this holiday CEO UNESCO Koichiro Matsuura: “In celebrating International Mother Language Day... we pay tribute to the myriad of languages that exist in the world, the cultures they reflect, and the creativity that their development and forms of expression give to people. On International Mother Language Day, all languages are recognized as equal because each is uniquely suited to human purpose and each represents a living heritage that we should protect.”
Recognition and respect of all languages is key to maintaining peace. Each language is unique. It has its own expressions that reflect the mentality and customs of the people. Like our name, we acquire our mother tongue from our mother during childhood. It shapes our consciousness and imbues it with the culture inherent in it.
Even though it is very difficult to penetrate deeply into the culture of another language, knowledge of languages broadens our horizons and opens up a diverse world to us. Meeting people who speak other languages makes it possible to learn about our differences and can dispel fears about the world that give rise to national strife. Make your thinking more free.
If we speak only one language, part of our brain develops less and our creativity loses a lot. There are about 300 words that have exactly the same meaning in all languages: I, you, we, who, what, no, all, one, two, big, long, small, woman, man, eat, see, hear, sun , moon, etc.
But if we take other words, for example, the word patience in Chinese (zhen), then it also means tolerance, patience...
If in French je t "aime (I love you) you can say to a friend, child, lover, then this is unthinkable for other languages, for example, for English or Italian in which there are different words to denote the concept of "love".
One example. There are about 1600 languages and dialects in India, the situation is very complex. The constitution guarantees all citizens the right to "preserve" their languages, and all ethnic and religious minorities have the right to govern educational institutions. In fact, there is a linguistic hierarchy. Minor languages may disappear, replaced by English, which is perceived as a neutral language, a symbol of modernity and good social status.
Every age needs a native language...
(Kenzheev Bakhyt)
Every age needs a native language,
to every heart, tree and knife
we need a native language of purity of tears -
So I will say and I will keep my word.
So I will say and silently, barefoot, I will walk
barren, cloudy country,
to blame your work
the native language has become a cumbersome stone.
From the street, a disabled person pressed his ear to the glass.
Every throat hurts, every eye waters,
if the age decays, and its spring
dries up without comforting us.
The stones will erase the sole, take away your youth,
so that singing reeds grow from the water,
so that in old age he can justify his work
stonecutter's insatiable lace.
Well - tearing off the crust from compressed lips,
overcoming lies and abscesses in the ears,
to every sky - if the century is not loving -
let it slip, repeating the forgotten
In your native language, because again
in every living thing the early morning sleep is deep,
so that hate and love merge
in your narrow pupil into a golden ball.
About your native language
(Galina Purga)
Your tongue is a guide to the mind and heart,
Without it you will find yourself in a dead end.
Your language is your life, your dreams,
You are no longer you without him.
Your tongue is like your own mother,
Which cannot be humiliated, cannot be insulted.
You should thank him, friend.
Because you know how to speak correctly.
Native language is your soul, your world, your ray,
Love him because he is powerful.
Your tongue is a shield, your communication
Don't let him be neglected.
Don’t let someone else label your native language.
Your heritage is your land and your language
And don’t let the ignorant distort it,
Don't forget about this, my friend.
Native Russian language
I will not fight with my brother over the language,
We'd better have more vodka and fresh snacks.
But for the first time, a quietly happy mother,
When she just opened her eyes, she told me in Russian.
And so with mother's milk it poured into my blood
The same language is like a gift from ancestors-messengers.
Today I hear the cry of my fellow countryman again and again
About the fact that my native language is only the lot of foreigners.
When the carousel stops spinning,
And I’ll lie down in a cold hole behind the street descent,
They will drive my spirit away from the Ukrainian unfortunate lands
For the fact that during his lifetime he wrote his lines in Russian.
Native language
Everyone is interested in Arabic
everyone was drawn to the east,
Spanish, Polish, Italian,
the train carried everyone to the west
How easy it is to drop everything and hide,
and tell us all later
that happiness is abroad,
and laugh at your own
Now the dialect is already native,
now in a completely different country,
I'm happy for them, but life is not eternal,
and only the native language is in the soul
Native language
(Valery Bryusov)
My faithful friend! My enemy is insidious!
My king! My slave! Native language!
My poems are like altar smoke!
Like a furious challenge - my cry!
You gave wings to a crazy dream,
You have tied your dream in chains.
Saved me in hours of powerlessness
And he crushed with excess strength.
How often in the secret of strange sounds
And in the hidden sense of words
I found the melody of the unexpected,
Poems that took possession of me!
But often, exhausted by joy
Or quietly intoxicated with melancholy,
I waited in vain to be in tune
With a trembling soul - your echo!
You wait like a giant.
I bow my face to you.
And yet I won’t get tired of fighting
I am like Israel with a deity!
There is no limit to my persistence.
You are in eternity, I am in short days,
But still, as a magician, submit to me,
Or turn the madman to dust!
Your wealth, by inheritance,
I, impudent, demand for myself.
I issue a call - you answer,
I'm coming - get ready to fight!
But the winner is defeated,
I will equally fall before you:
You are my avenger, you are my savior,
Your world is forever my abode,
Your voice is the sky above me!
Native language
(Pavlova Lina)
I thank previous eras,
Scientists and poets and people
For the language that you gave me
And they saved it in the most terrible year!
I thank my mother for reading to me
And, revealing the meaning of each fairy tale,
She corrected childhood mistakes
And it awakened my thought to life.
I thank Kuprin, Tolstoy,
Turgenev and Chekhov always,
That my native language was enriched
And they supported me in difficult times.
And if in adversity, in the years of hard times,
I haven't hit rock bottom yet,
And if I didn’t close my heart to people,
The merit of the book is that it is my destiny!
And often without even bread,
I opened it with a weak hand
Your friends, guides,
And time transported me to another world.
Native speech, beloved native language,
We draw strength from you throughout all ages.
You, our treasure, our strength,
And you play a role in the life of the lighthouse!
Native language, tell us the words...
Native language, tell us the words:
How to protect you, where to get strength?
Not the inglorious nickname “Mordovian”,
But the name “Erzya” should be worn proudly.
To be a forerunner is an enviable fate,
The Erzyan “istya” breathes the Russianness of truths.
But did you know that they would push you out
From the Volga expanse of the Fatherland?!
In the family of living Russian languages
You are the only one left among the few.
We are at the burial mounds of our forefathers
Let us resume the ritual of strict traditions.
Let the sacred shtatol keep the fire,
Only with Erzyan Mastor does one’s spirit and strength grow stronger.
To the mound hills - bow to the ground,
So that the memory of our ancestors speaks to us.
Istya (erz.) - yes
Erzyan Shtatol - a sacred candle, a symbol of hope, unification and will of the Erzyan people
Erzyan Mastor - land of Erzyan
Each nation has its own unique culture, history, traditions, way of life. And, of course, the language. Preserving it is a very important task. In revolutionary Russia in 1917, there were 193 languages at the time of the collapse of the USSR, only 40. About two languages disappeared every year... 5
Mother Language Day is a holiday that began to be celebrated not so long ago. On this day, everyone should think about their attitude towards their native language, whether we are polluting it in the right words, are we speaking correctly? And on this day we must remember how many languages there are on earth, and each one should be appreciated. After all, language is the culture of a people. Getting to know other languages helps you understand how interesting and diverse the world is.
For a language to survive, it must be spoken by at least one person. At all times, languages arose, existed, then died out, sometimes without even leaving a trace. But never before have they disappeared so quickly. With the advent of new technologies, it has become even more difficult for national minorities to achieve recognition of their languages. After all, a language that is not represented on the Internet for modern world"does not exist". 7
The international organization UNESCO has recorded about 6,000 thousand languages spoken throughout the world. Half of them are on the verge of extinction. Just 4% of the population can speak 96% of languages fluently. And about 80% of the languages of African regions do not have a written representation. The international organization UNESCO has recorded about 6,000 thousand languages used throughout the world. Half of them are on the verge of extinction. Just 4% of the population can speak 96% of languages fluently. And about 80% of the languages of African regions do not have a written form 8
About 81% of pages in global network presented in English. Behind it by a huge margin are German and Japanese languages, 2% each, then Spanish, French and languages Scandinavian countries, by 1%. Rest existing languages, taken together, occupy no more than 8% of the total web space. 9
Thanks to UNESCO, a portal has been created online to enable national minorities to gain access to knowledge and educational resources. First of all, UNESCO calls for assistance to countries wishing to preserve their cultural diversity and provides high-quality educational material to national minorities. 10
After all, respect and recognition of all languages is one of the main conditions for maintaining peace on the planet. All languages are unique in their own way. They have those words, expressions and phrases that accurately reflect the customs and mentality of the people. Like our names, we learn and acquire our native language in deep childhood from the lips of our mother. It shapes our perception of life and consciousness, imbues it with national culture and customs. eleven

Native language! I have known it since childhood, On it I said “mom” for the first time, On it I swore stubborn allegiance, And every breath I take on it is clear to me. Native language! It is dear to me, it is mine, On it the winds whistle in the foothills, On it for the first time I had a chance to hear the babbling of birds in the green spring...
