عيد اللغة البنغالية, or Bengali Language Day, is celebrated on February 21 each year to honor the importance of the Bengali language. This day commemorates the sacrifices made by students in Dhaka in 1952, who protested for the recognition of Bengali as one of the official languages of Pakistan. Their efforts led to the eventual recognition of Bengali, which is now spoken by millions. The observance of عيد اللغة البنغالية promotes linguistic and cultural diversity. It is marked by various events, including seminars, cultural programs, and poetry recitations, highlighting the rich heritage of the Bengali language and its literature. UNESCO recognized this day as International Mother Language Day in 1999, further emphasizing its global significance.
