Multilingual Manchester marks Mother Language Day

In the streets of Manchester, you may hear as many as 200 different
languages spoken, and more than half of the city’s residents are estimated
to speak two or more languages. Relative to its population size, the city
is one of the most linguistically diverse in Europe, and International
Mother Language Day – celebrated on February 21 – marks a key moment in its
annual calendar...This year is the eighth year Manchester is celebrating
International Mother Language Day, an annual United Nations observance
which promotes linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
