<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">Happy International Mother Language
Day to all!</P>
<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">The date was actually this weekend,
but I guess this can be IML Week, as it was so declared by Gov. Henry in
Oklahoma in 2008.</P>
<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">This date was picked by UNESCO,
because folks died for their language on that date (see below). What have
you done for your language lately?</P>
<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">I encourage you all in your
efforts! </P>
<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333"><BR></P>

<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">============</P>
<P style="FONT: 12px Arial; COLOR: #333333">International Mother Language Day
has been observed every year since February 2000 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.<BR><BR>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</P>
