International Mother Language Day is an observance held annually on 21 February worldwide to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. It was first announced by UNESCO on 17 November 1999. Its observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution establishing 2008 as the International Year of Languages.
International Mother Language Day originated as the international recognition of Language Movement Day, which has been commemorated in Bangladesh since 1952, when a number of students including the students of the University of Dhaka were killed by the Pakistani police in Dhaka during the Bengali Language Movement protests.
On 21 March 1948, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the Governor General of Pakistan, declared that Urdu would be the only official language for both West and East Pakistan. Based on population East Pakistan was majority, moreover Urdu was spoken by only 7.05% people of the West Pakistan (cf. Languages of Pakistan) whereas Bengali was mother language of most East Pakistani peoples (cf. Bangladesh). The people of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), who spoke Bengali, protested against this. On 21 February 1952, (8th Falgun 1358 in the Bengali calendar), students in the present day capital city of Dhaka called for a provincial strike. The government invoked a limited curfew to prevent this and the protests were tamed down so as to not break the curfew. The Pakistani police fired on the students despite these peaceful protests and a number of students were killed. Four of them were Abdus Salam, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, Abul Barkat and Abdul Jabbar.

André Berley (1890-1936) was a French stage and screen actor, known for his part in Carl Dreyer’s La passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928).
André Berley, originally André Edmond Obrecht, was born 13 January 1890 in Paris. During his career, he was highly active on stage from the early 1910s on, in particular in 1925 in the play Les Marchands de gloire by Paul Nivoix and Marcel Pagnol and directed by Gabriel Signoret, and a musical comedy in 1929, Le Renard chez les poules. He debuted in film during the last years of silent cinema. A major part he performed in La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928) by Carl Theodor Dreyer, where he played Jean d'Estivet, one of the evil judges, opposite Renée Falconetti (Jeanne d'Arc), Sylvain, Maurice Schutz, Michel Simon, and Antonin Artaud. He also acted in Harakiri (Marie-Louise Iribe, Henri Debain, 1928). Thanks to a contract with MGM, he stayed one year (around 1930-1931) in Hollywood to act in seven French versions of MGM’s early sound films (e.g. Buster se marie/Parlor, Bedroom and Bath, 1931, by Claude Autant-Lara) plus one more at Paramount: Le petit café/The Playboy of Paris (Ludwig Berger 1931). In Hollywood, he was directed by famous European directors, in addition to Autant-Lara and Berger also Jacques Feyder, Henri Chomette, Reinhold Schünzel, and Arthur Robison. After his return to France, he mainly acted in French sound cinema, until his death in 1936. Barley participated in the French versions of Franco-German multilinguals. Berley played, for instance, the part of Emil Jannings in the French version of Die Abenteuer des Königs Pausole (1933) by Alexis Granowsky. He also acted in one Franco-British coproduction (Juanita, Pierre Caron 1935), and in three Franco-American co-productions, among which the French version of The Merry Widow (1934) with Maurice Chevalier. André Berley died prematurely (age 46) on 26 November 1936, shortly after the shooting of La Maison d'en face, an adaptation of the play by Paul Nivoix and directed by Christian-Jaque. The film, which starred Elvire Popesco, was released in January 1937.

Kaffi Bar (Lëtzebuergesch), Carpe Diem (Latin), Patisserie (French) made by Dan (English). Can it get more multilingual than that?
A long-time freelance journalist, I joined Cafebabel in 2010, as part of the "Green Europe on the ground" project in Brussels, and have been contributing to it ever since. Coming from a very multicultural background - I was born in Ukraine, grew up in Israel and lived in Germany for an extended period of time - I try to incorporate this experience in the work I do for Cafebabel.
As a third wave feminist, who has dreamed of working in journalism since a very early age, I find it exciting that it is no longer perceived as a "men's profession", and am thrilled to have such wonderful women as colleagues.
I speak English, German, Hebrew, and Russian.

International Mother Language Day - 21 February - International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since 2000 February to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. The date represents the day in 1952 when students demonstrating for recognition of their language, Bangla, as one of the two national languages of the then Pakistan, were shot and killed by police in Dhaka, the capital of what is now Bangladesh.
Languages are the most powerful instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and to inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue.

ניגונים
מילים: פניה ברגשטיין
שתלתם ניגונים בי אימי ואבי
ניגונים מזמורים שכוחים
גרעינים גרעינים נשאם לבבי
עתה הם עולים וצומחים
עתה הם שולחים פארות בדמי
שורשיהם בעורקי שלובים
ניגוניך אבי ושירייך אימי
בדופקי נעורים ושבים
הנה אאזין שיר ערשי הרחוק
הביע פי אם אלי בת
הנה לי תזהרנה בדמע וצחוק
איכה וזמירות של שבת
כל הגה יתם וכל צליל יאלם
בי קולכם הרחוק כי יהום
עיני אעצום והריני איתכם
מעל לחשכת התהום

Foto: (EN) Multilingual (Abkhaz - Russian - English) sign in Bzypta. Despite the sizeable population groups, there are no signs in Armenian or Georgian in Abkhazia. (DE) Mehrsprachiges (abchasisch-russisch-englisch) Strassenschild in Bzypta. Obwohl mehr Armenier oder Georgier als Russen in Abchasien wohnen, gibt es in ihren Sprachen keine Schilder.
Gemäss der Volkszählung von 2003 besteht die Bevölkerung Abchasiens aus Abchasen (45 %), Armeniern, Georgiern, Russen sowie kleineren Minderheiten wie den Esten, Griechen, Türken oder Deutschen. Experten zufolge dürfte aber das Ergebnis der Volkszählung verfälscht sein. In Wirklichkeit sei der Anteil der Abchasen etwa gleich gross wie jener der Armenier, und auch die Georgier seien nicht viel weniger.
Abchasien ist allerdings der einzige de facto souveräne Staat der Welt, der zugleich auch Nationalstaat für die Titularethnie ist. Es gibt keinen abchasischen kin state im Ausland. Entsprechend ist auch das Ziel des abchasischen nation buildings, das Überleben der abchasischen Ethnie und Sprache zu sichern. Dies nicht völlig zu Unrecht, denn die abchasische Sprache wird wohl nur noch von etwa 50‘000 Personen gesprochen. Damit begründet die Regierung die Privilegierung der Abchasen und der abchasischen Sprache.
Die meisten Dörfer des Landes sind monoethnisch, während die Städte gemischt sind. Die Abchasen leben dabei vorwiegend in den Rayons Gudauta, Očamčira und Tkuarčal sowie in der Stadt Suchumi. In den Rayons Suchumi, Gulripš und Gagra leben hauptsächlich Armenier, im Rayon Gali sowie in Teilen der Rayons Očamčira und Tkuarčal Georgier. Die restlichen Ethnien leben über das ganze Land verstreut bzw. vorwiegend in den Städten.
Die Georgier aus dem Osten Abchasiens sprechen das mit dem Georgischen verwandte Megrelische, sehen sich aber als Teil der georgischen Nation und benutzen auch die georgische Schriftsprache. Die abchasische Führung versucht derzeit, ihre megrelische Identität und Sprache zu betonen, um einen Unterschied zu den Georgiern zu manifestieren. Dazu soll auch eine megrelische Schriftsprache eingeführt werden. Dies stösst bei der Bevölkerung, die sich vom abchasischen Staat vernachlässigt fühlt, nicht auf viel Gegenliebe. Durch das Machtmonopol des abchasischen Staats ist sie aber zu einer gewissen Kooperation verdammt. Im Bus nach Gali fragte ich einen Einheimischen, ob er Georgier sei (er hatte zuvor mit anderen Passagieren Megrelisch gesprochen). Er meinte dazu nur, er sei „von hier“.
In den westlichen Rayons Abchasiens lebten bis zum Krieg 1992-1993 weitere Georgier, die anders als die Megrelen das eigentliche Georgisch sprachen. Da sich diese im Krieg (der in der Umgebung von Suchumi am schlimmsten war) weit stärker als die Megrelen engagierten, wurden sie danach vertrieben. Eine Rückkehr dieser Flüchtlinge (wie es Abchasien sieht) bzw. interner Vertriebener (wie es Georgien sieht) wird von Abchasien ausgeschlossen.
Auch die Armenier Abchasiens sprechen nicht die ostarmenische Schriftsprache, wie sie in Armenien verwendet wird, sondern Hamschen, einen westarmenischen Dialekt. Dieser ist für Armenier aus Jerewan nicht ohne weiteres verständlich, häufig erfolgt die Kommunikation dann auf Russisch. Die abchasischen Armenier haben aber begonnen, das ostarmenische als Schriftsprache einzuführen. In der Öffentlichkeit hat das Armenische aber einen schweren Stand. Selbst in der Armenier-Hochburg Gagra gibt es überhaupt keine Aufschriften auf Armenisch. Manche Armenier befürchten sogar, nach dass nun nach der Vertreibung eines Grossteils der Georgier ein Konflikt zwischen Abchasen und Armeniern entstehen könne. Eine gewisse Rivalität ist bereits jetzt nicht von der Hand zu weisen.
Die Minderheiten der Esten, Griechen, Türken und Deutschen sind seit 1993 sehr stark geschrumpft, da die meisten Angehörigen dieser Minderheiten in die (reicheren) Länder ihrer Vorväter zurückgekehrt sind. Selbst viele Russen sind nach Russland ausgewandert.
