Today is International Mother Language Day. As the representative of an electorate home to more than 60,000 people born overseas, this day is incredibly close to my heart. Today, let's acknowledge the many people who are doing important work to keep linguistic diversity alive 👏 https://t.co/hFWfaRwl07

Language is more than just words and letters, it's what shapes our understanding of the world around us. It's part of our identity and sense of belonging. Languages connect us to our ancestors, our culture and our Country. Happy International Mother Language Day! https://t.co/q1KFBgquxs

#Sindh has right to ask these questions about their identity. Why such discrimination, just because our mother language is Sindhi ? #SuhniSindhiBoli #سنڌي_ٻولي_قومي_ٻولي https://t.co/pIdUSlUKcf

21 February, International Mother Language Day with its remarkable history, and formally recognised by UN in 2002, and 22 February, the second Global Language Advocacy Day, a great opportunity to focus attention of language rights and opportunities globally. https://t.co/T31cxBqYQ4

Happy International Mother Language Day! Doing my best to live up to this year’s theme: ‘Multilingual Education - a necessity to transform education’. Mia’s Korean is very basic but it’s important she knows her Korean culture, language and history https://t.co/X5zFsQMn3O
