Today is 21st February. International Mother Language Day. In this day of 1952, many people sacrificed their lives for the sake of mother tongue "Bangla". We pay a great homage to those language martyrs on this day. We are proud of them. We are proud of Bangla Language. I'm a Bangladeshi. Bangla is our mother tongue as well as state language. I love this language very much. What are your mother languages and state languages?

We had to struggle a lot to establish this language as our state language. So it's so special for us.

Tumhi Bhaloo!
Congratulations to you on the occasion of International Mother Language Day.
Bangla is a very sweet language. Once I tried to learn it but I could not. Needless to say that Bangla is spoken in some of the Indian States also.
My mother tongue is Hindi.

@Priyanka1990 You did not comment on my comment which I made in Bangla.
Hopefully, you were born after Bangladesh was carved out of the territory.

@Priyanka1990 Not at all! You are welcome! I am linguist too. I am interested in language situations in different countries. I am very sensitive about such language problems. They unify history, culture and political situation. I am curious about such situations globally.

Wikipedia calls in "Bengali." I'm tempted to 'take this to Snopes.com,' it's so unbelievable that they would outlaw use of a language at a university!
Anyway, I'm English-speaking all the way (yes, I took some Spanish- & German- & even a little Russian-classes; but those are still 'secret-code-languages' to me (like Klingon & Romulan & Vulcan 
)).
Actually, Oklahoma (America) is home to many of the Native American tribes that gave us code-talkers in a war long ago---Cherokee, Choctaw, maybe Comanche & Seminole, along with obscure languages from elsewhere (look-up "code talkers" on Wikipedia).

Sacrificed their lives? 
No doubt your proud of them.
My mother tongue is "Kannada". It is our state language as well.
