Celebrating International Mother Language Day

21 February is observed as International Mother Language Day. Proclaimed by UNESCO in 1999, it recognises that multilingualism can advance inclusion, and the Sustainable Development Goals’ focus on “leaving no one behind”.

Languages featured in this video showcase a sample of the cultural diversity of UN staff in Iraq.  Together, we promote, preserve and protect our mother languages.
