Dear students,
Today we observe the International Mother Language Day, which is celebrated worldwide in order to stress the importance of preserving all the languages as a vital part of cultural heritage. The date commemorates the death of five students who were shot by the police in 1952 under Pakistan government, during a demonstration for recognizing Bengali as a national language of East Pakistan.
Although we do not approve of overusing your mother language in the multinational environment of the university, today might be the best way to talk about your language and perhaps teach some of it to your friends from other countries.
