International Mother Language Day

International Mother Language Day is a very special day that reminds us every time of the inalienable right of each of us to freely use our mother language.

Celebrating International Mother Language Day encourages us to love our mother language and strive to learn as much as possible about it.

It is difficult to overestimate the power of the native language, because language is the basis of national identity, a way of expressing a civic position, the basis of our freedom and dignity.

In the conditions of opposition to the Russian occupier, the Ukrainian language united millions of Ukrainians within the country and beyond.

Our language is a symbol of unity, the genetic code and identifier of a nation, a source of inspiration and development.

The protection of the native language is today its affirmation and popularization, which undoubtedly contributes to the strengthening of national security. And to speak Ukrainian is to support a nation of brave, courageous, indomitable, those who are always ready to defend their future!
