Hi all,
Sunday February 21st is International Mother Language Day, as decided by the U.N. This is taking form here at UIUC as a campus-wide event that entails a poster board being passed around to various buildings here at campus. Students can use this board to express themselves in their mother tongue, with the board ultimately becoming a multilingual tapestry, promoting pride in one's mother tongue.
Here is an advertisement for the event that also displays the other locations where the board will be hosted. (To see the details Click here!)

I can tell about this. In my own country there are other 4 regions with their own languages and they are very proud of it. Unfortunately, sometimes this is a barrier for someone that wants to work in these regions, even though spanish is official as well.
Why not. I wish there were only one language in the world even though I would lose my job! ;)
