International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in November 1999.
Language is a powerful weapon to preserve our heritage. I'm sure my ancestors spoke an indigenous language, Nahuatl most likely, so I have no other mother tongue to celebrate now than Castilian Spanish. I'll take it. I feel privileged to speak more than one language.
Así que, feliz día de la lengua materna. Se podrá hacer taco con ella?
