international day mother tongue Every year it is customary to celebrate the world on February 21st. This holiday was established on November 17, 1999 by the General Conference of UNESCO, and it began to be celebrated in February 2000. The main objective of the holiday "International Mother Language Day" can be called the promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity in the world.

Recall that the year 2008 was declared in the 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 for preserving and developing the material and spiritual heritage of any nation. There are about 6,000 languages ​​in the world today. According to UNESCO, in the near future, about half of them may lose their last carriers and disappear completely.

About 80% of African languages ​​do not have a written language at all. The trend of extinction of languages ​​in the future will only intensify.

A language can survive if it is spoken by at least 100,000 people. Languages ​​are disappearing not only in the modern world, this has always happened, sometimes extinct languages ​​\u200b\u200bare not even leaving a trace. However, never before have languages ​​disappeared so quickly. Very often, the desire of the rulers to achieve the unity of their country led to the extinction of languages, 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 the disappearance of languages ​​is very relevant today, because in the world at the present time about two languages ​​disappear every month.

The advent 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 around the world. And today it is believed that a language that is not represented on the Internet, as it were, does not exist at all. It is estimated that about 81% of all pages on the Internet are made on English language. German and Japanese, French, Spanish and Scandinavian languages ​​follow by a huge margin.

UNESCO even created a special portal for disadvantaged national minorities. 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. Scholars generally agree that language originated about half a million years ago. However, until now, 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 is developed and preserved precisely because of them. Each language is unique in its own way, therefore it represents a very great cultural value, which we must try to preserve as long as possible.

Any steps aimed at the dissemination of native languages ​​contribute to linguistic diversity and multilingual education. People around the world should become more fully acquainted with the linguistic and cultural traditions of their countries. This makes it possible to strengthen solidarity based on mutual understanding and dialogue.

Mother tongue should be given very great attention, because it is a tool for communication, reflection and perception, describes our vision of the world. In addition, language is also capable of reflecting the connection between the past, present and future, serving as a means of expressing creativity.

The mother tongue leaves a unique imprint on each of us from the moment of birth. In addition to native, a person can also master foreign languages. This allows us to get acquainted with a different culture and a different worldview. Each language has unique expressions that reflect the mentality and customs of the people who speak 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.

It can be said that the native language forms 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 creative abilities also do not develop to the fullest. Therefore, the study foreign languages very helpful for our development. It should be noted at the same time that it is much easier for children to learn foreign languages ​​than for adults.

Traditions for the holiday of February 21

On this festive day, February 21, International Mother Language Day, various exhibitions, concerts and presentations dedicated to languages ​​are held at UNESCO Headquarters and its affiliates around the world.

To protect languages, UNESCO even plans to create a system of preventive monitoring. This system will help track the status of those languages ​​that are threatened with complete extinction, and will also help to 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 Bengali being recognized as the official language of eastern Pakistan were brutally massacred by the Pakistani police.

In our multinational country, there are a large number of different languages. At the same time, 136 of them were recognized as endangered by UNESCO in 2009.

In different cities of our country, on the occasion of the holiday of February 21 - International Mother Language Day - 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 mass media. All of them widely use profanity, slang, criminal vocabulary, a huge number of foreign words, etc. All this contributes to the pollution of the Russian language.

All over the world on February 21, humanity celebrates Mother Language Day. It is with its help that people are able to express colorfully and vividly all their thoughts, experiences, emotions, turning them into songs, poems or prose. This is the basis of the cultural heritage of the nation, which many other peoples wish to know.

To show how important it is to respect and learn foreign languages, the General Assembly decided to establish this holiday and set the date - February 21st. The impetus for this decision was the request of UNESCO to create this holiday in order to develop in people the desire for multilingualism and respect for other languages.

For Russians, Mother Language Day is a way to express appreciation and gratitude to all creators Russian history. After all, for all time there were approximately 193 languages ​​on our territory, over time this figure dropped to 40.

Today, in honor of the holiday, many educational institutions hold competitions in which you need to write a poem, prose or essay in any language you like, where the winner receives a well-deserved reward. Also in cultural circles it is customary to hold literary evenings, creative festivals, where young and experienced poets share their works.

International Mother Language Day - February 21

International Mother Language Day, proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference in November 1999, has been observed 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 6,000 languages ​​may soon lose their last native speakers.

All steps to promote the spread of mother tongues serve not only to promote linguistic diversity and multilingual education, to develop a fuller acquaintance with linguistic and cultural traditions around the world, but also to strengthen solidarity based on mutual understanding, tolerance and dialogue.

Here is what UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura says about this holiday: “Celebrating International Mother Language Day... we pay tribute to the myriad of languages ​​​​existing in the world, the cultures that they reflect, the creative charge that their development and forms of expression give people . On International Mother Language Day, all languages ​​are recognized as equal because each of them fulfills the destiny of man in a unique way and each represents a living heritage that we should protect.”

Recognition and respect for all languages ​​is the key to keeping the 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 forms our consciousness, impregnates it with the culture embedded 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 before us. Getting to know people who speak other languages ​​makes it possible to learn about our differences and can dispel the fears of the world that give rise to national strife. Make thinking more free.

If we speak only one language, part of our brain develops less, 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, everything, 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 complicated. The constitution guarantees all citizens the right to "keep" their languages, and all ethnic and religious minorities have the right to govern educational institutions. In fact, there is a linguistic hierarchy. Smaller languages ​​may disappear, being replaced by English, which is perceived as a neutral language, a symbol of modernity and good social position.

Every age needs a mother tongue...
(Kenzheev Bakhyt)

Every age needs a mother tongue
to every heart, tree and knife
need a native language of purity tears -
so I will say and keep my word.

So I will say and silently, barefoot, I will pass
barren, cloudy country,
to blame your work
native language that has become a cumbersome stone.

From the street, the disabled person pressed his ear to the glass.
Every throat hurts, every eye waters,
if the century decays, and its spring
dries up without comforting us.

Stones will erase the sole, youth will be taken away,
so that a singing reed may grow out of the water,
so that in old age he could justify his work
stonecutter with insatiable lace.

Well - tearing off the crust from compressed lips,
overcoming lies, and an abscess in the ears,
to every sky - if the age is not loved -
speak out, repeating the forgotten

In the native language, because again
in every living dream is deep,
to merge hate and love
in your narrow pupil into a golden ball.

About mother tongue
(Galina Purga)

Mind and heart, your language is a guide,
Without it, you will end up in a dead end.
Your language is your life, your dreams,
You are not you without him.

Your tongue is like a mother
Which cannot be humiliated, not insulted.
You should thank him, friend.
Because you know how to speak correctly.

Mother tongue is your soul, your world, your beam,
Love him for being powerful.
Your language is a shield, your communication
Don't disrespect him.

Don't let someone else label your native language.
Your legacy is your land and your language
And do not let the ignorant distort it,
Don't forget about this, my friend.

Native Russian

I will not fight with my brother for the language,
We'd better have more vodka and fresh snacks.
But something for the first time quietly happy mother,
When she opened her eyes, she told me in Russian.

And so with mother's milk poured into my blood
That very language is like a gift from the messenger ancestors.
Today I hear the cry of a countryman again and again
The fact that my native language is only the lot of strangers.

When the carousel stops spinning,
And I'll lie down in a cold hole behind the street slope,
They will drive my spirit from Ukrainian unfortunate lands
For the fact that during his lifetime he wrote his lines in Russian.

Native language

Everyone is into Arabic
everyone was drawn to the east,
Spanish, Polish, Italian,
to the west the train carried everyone away

How easy it is to drop everything and hide
and tell us all later
about the fact that happiness is abroad,
and laugh at your

Now native already adverbs,
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!
How fierce is my cry!

You gave wings to a crazy dream,
You wrapped your dream in fetters.
Saved me in the hours of impotence
And crushed with excess strength.

How often in the mystery of strange sounds
And in the hidden sense of words
I found the tune of the unexpected,
Poems that took possession of me!

But often, joy exhausted
Ile quiet intoxicated with longing,
I waited in vain to be in tune
With a trembling soul - your echo!

You wait like a giant.
I bow before you.
And yet I won't stop fighting
I am like Israel with a deity!

There is no limit to my perseverance.
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 myself.
I'm calling, you answer
I'm coming - you be ready to fight!

But, defeated or winner,
I will fall down 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 the past eras
Scientists and poets and people
For the language that you gave me
And saved 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 awakened to life my thought.

I thank Kuprin, Tolstoy,
Turgenev and Chekhov always,
That my native language was enriched
And they supported me in difficult times.

And if you attack, in the years of hard times,
I haven't sunk to the bottom yet.
And if you didn’t close your heart to people,
The merit of the book is that it is my destiny!

And often without even bread,
I opened with a weak hand
Your friends, guides,
And time carried me to another world.

Native speech, beloved native language,
We draw strength from you in 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 draw strength?
Not the inglorious nickname "Mordva",
But the name "Erzya" is proud to be worn.

To be a forerunner is an enviable fate,
Erzya "ista" breathes the Russianness of truths.
But did you know that you will be forced 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 mounds of our forefathers
Let's resume the ritual of strict traditions.

Let the sacred shtAtol keep the fire,
Only with Erzyan Mastor the spirit and strength grow stronger.
Kurgan hills - bow to the ground,
So that the memory of our ancestors spoke in us.

Istya (erz.) - yes
Erzyan Shtatol - a sacred candle, a symbol of hope, unification and will of the Erzya people
Erzyan Mastor - land of Erzya

The spiritual treasure of any nation is the language. The most important for any person is the language in which he first learns to speak and recognize the world. This is the language of childhood, the language spoken in the family, the language of the first relationships in society. From birth, it is necessary to lay in the soul of the child this heritage - the native language. It is not for nothing that people say that one can do without science in life, but one cannot do without one's native language. And that's exactly what it is. Language is the foundation for the maturation of any personality, it is the greatest tool for protecting spiritual wealth. All steps aimed at its support and dissemination are designed to preserve the diversity of languages ​​on this planet, to protect the traditions of different peoples. Language strengthens solidarity, which is based on patience, mutual understanding and dialogue. A civilized society is trying to declare the principles of humanity and justice. The recognition by the international community of the urgent need to protect the diversity of the planet's cultures, the most important component of which is language, is one of the main steps in this direction.

History of the origin of International Mother Language Day

From October 26 to November 17, 1999, the thirtieth session of the General Conference of UNESCO was held in Paris, where the day for the support of linguistic diversity, the International Mother Language Day, was officially approved. The holiday has entered the calendars of the whole world since 2000. February 21 is declared International Mother Language Day. This number was not chosen by chance, but in connection with the tragedy that occurred in 1952. Five student demonstrators who came out to fight for the recognition of the Bengali language as the state language were killed.

The threat of extinction of various languages

At the moment, there are about 6 thousand languages ​​in the world. Scientists warn that in the coming decades, almost 40% of them may disappear completely. And this is a huge loss for all mankind, because each language is a unique vision of the world. David Crystal, one of the well-known language experts, author of the popular book "Language Death", believes that linguistic diversity is an original thing and the loss of any language makes our world poorer. Every time a language is lost, a unique vision of the world is lost with it. The UNESCO organization is the body that undertook to support different languages ​​as a definition of a person's cultural affiliation. In addition, according to this organization, learning several foreign languages ​​is the key to understanding between people and mutual respect. Each language is the spiritual heritage of the nation, which must be protected.

According to UNESCO Director General Koihiro Matsuura: “Mother tongue is priceless for each of us. In our native language, we speak our first phrases and most clearly express our thoughts. This is the foundation on which all people build their personality from the moment of their first breath, and it is what guides us throughout life. It is a way by which you can teach to respect yourself, your history, your culture, and most importantly, other people with all their characteristics.
In order for the language not to disappear, at least 100,000 people must speak it. It has always been like this, languages ​​arose, existed and died, sometimes without a trace. But never before have they disappeared so rapidly. With the development of scientific and technological progress, it became more difficult for national minorities to achieve recognition of their languages. A language that does not exist on the Internet no longer exists as such for modern world. 81% of the pages on the World Wide Web are published in English.
In Europe, almost fifty languages ​​may disappear in the near future. Some parts of Asia are being influenced Chinese. Pressure in New Caledonia French brought to the point that out of 60 thousand indigenous inhabitants of the island, 40 thousand have forgotten their native language. In South America, as a result of the colonization of the XVII-XX centuries. 1400 languages ​​disappeared North America"civilizational processes" turned into destruction in the XVIII century. 170 languages, in Australia - in the XIX-XX centuries. 375 languages ​​disappeared.
There are cases in the history of mankind when a language becomes a hostage or even a victim of the political interests of states and confrontations between nations. Language is used as an instrument of influence on the people, is an element of the struggle for spheres of influence and territory.
The language dies when the next generation loses understanding of the meaning of words (V. Goloborodko). If people only speak one language, then part of their brain develops less and their creativity is limited. Measures to preserve linguistic diversity.
To preserve the diversity of languages, UNESCO carries out a whole range of activities. For example, the Internet Linguistic Diversity Project was launched and funded, which involves the introduction of a large amount of content in rare languages. And also, the introduction of a special automatic translation system from them. At the initiative of UNESCO, a portal has been organized that provides access to knowledge to those segments of the population that are in disadvantaged conditions. UNESCO goes to meet the states that protect their spiritual uniqueness and originality, providing high-quality study of foreign languages. The MOST program is working on activities designed to promote equality between different ethnic groups. Its purpose is to resolve and prevent conflicts on ethnic grounds. Nevertheless, as UNESCO points out, now, such powerful languages ​​of our time as Russian, English, Chinese, French and Spanish, every day more strongly displace other languages ​​from the sphere of communication.
V different countries public organizations are being created, the main tasks of which are the identification of different peoples, the protection of the rights and freedoms of minority languages. Such organizations bring together people of different professions who are not indifferent to the fate of their language. Knowledge of the world through national word like genes. The language is passed down from generation to generation and this heredity is not only within the family, but within the entire nation. The native language must be protected as one's future, remembering the original meaning of the words. The ancient sages said: "Speak and I will see you." It is absolutely obvious that it is the native speaker who can preserve the native language.

February 21st celebration in the world.

Among the events dedicated to the celebration of February 21 in the world, educational seminars, exhibitions of audiovisual materials on teaching various languages, poetry evenings in the native language, literary festivals, round tables, honoring poets-fighters for the native language are held. Competitions are also held to identify the best teacher of the native language and determine the best performance in learning languages ​​between schoolchildren or students. On the occasion of this year's holiday in Russia, a day has passed open doors v State Institute Russian language them. A. S. Pushkin. Each language is unique, it reflects the mentality and traditions of the people. The most important thing is that young people are interested in the culture of different peoples. It develops not only intellectually, but also spiritually. The positive aspect is that such a celebration of respect for the native language is accepted at the international level.

It is difficult to imagine how people communicated when the means of communication was not language, but, for example, gestures or facial expressions. Surely, without language today we would not be able to convey so figuratively and vividly all our emotions, experiences and thoughts, embodying them in songs, poems or prose.

1:1002 1:1007

Our language is both modest and rich.
There is a wonderful treasure hidden in every word.
Say the word "high" -
And imagine immediately the sky is blue.

1:1237

You say: "White-white all around" -
And you will see the winter village,
White snow hangs from the white roofs,
Can't see the rivers under the white snow.

1:1459

Remember the adverb "light" -
And you will see the sun has risen
If you say the word you "dark",
At once the evening will look out the window.

1:1682

If you say "fragrant", you
Immediately remember lily of the valley flowers.
Well, if you say "beautiful",
Before you - all of Russia at once!

1:232 1:237

The earth is inhabited by various living creatures: from the smallest bacteria to such giants as elephants and whales. But only man has the gift of speech. And no matter how we define this gift - sacred, divine, majestic, magnificent, priceless, immortal, miraculous - we will not reflect in its entirety its enormous significance.

1:825 1:832

2:1338 2:1343

The spiritual treasure of any nation is the language

2:1432

From the first days of his life, a person hears the speech of people close to him - mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and, as it were, absorbs the intonations of their voices. Even without knowing the words, the child recognizes people close and dear to him by the sounds of voices. Gradually, the baby begins to master speech and learn about the world around him. And by the age of seven, as scientists have calculated, the child remembers more words than in the rest of his life.

2:2155

From birth, it is necessary to lay in the soul of the child this heritage - the native language. It is not for nothing that people say that one can do without science in life, but not without one's native language. And that's exactly what it is.

2:341 2:346

When you want to speak a word
My friend, think, take your time:
It happens to be lead
That is born from the warmth of the soul.

2:545

It will rob, or bestow,
Let inadvertently, let loving
Think about how not to hit
The one who listens to you.

2:738 2:743

In the whole world, there are from 3 to 5 thousand different languages. Among them are the so-called world languages ​​- Russian, English, French, German, Spanish. There are state or official languages ​​- Polish in Poland, Mongolian in Mongolia, Swedish in Sweden and many others. And most languages ​​do not have any official “position” - they are simply spoken ... one - 10 people, another - 100, the third - 1000, and the fourth - 10,000 ...

2:1550

International Mother Language Day is primarily aimed at protecting endangered languages. And this task is important, because nowadays two languages ​​disappear in the world every month....

3:926

Like any celebration, this international day has its own historical background. In 1952 in Pakistan, students from the University of Dhaka took part in a demonstration against the Urdu language. The majority spoke the Bengali dialect, so it was this language that the protesters demanded to recognize as the state language. However, they not only did not listen to them, but also began to shoot. As a result, four student activists were killed. After the death of these and other residents of Pakistan, as well as a series of unrest and liberation movements, Bengali was declared the official language in the country. The struggle for the right to use the manner of communication familiar from childhood was crowned with success.

3:2141 3:4

Subsequently, at the initiative of the country of Bangladesh (recognized in 1971 as an independent state), UNESCO declared February 21 as the International Mother Language Day, which has been celebrated annually around the world for 14 years.

On International Mother Language Day, all languages ​​are recognized as equal, since each of them is unique. In Russia, one language is the state language - Russian. In our country, love for the native language can be compared with a feeling of true patriotism that permeates everything and each of us. Especially if we are talking about primordially Slavic values, to which we can confidently attribute the Russian language.

4:1741

I love my mother tongue!
It is clear to everyone, it is melodious,
