International Mother Language Day was yesterday, 21 February.

It is a day that reminds us how much language carries — not just words, but memory, identity, and a sense of belonging. The way we speak shapes the way we think. The words we grow up with stay with us for life.

Not everyone speaks the same language. Not everyone grew up in the same place. But most of us have that one language that feels like home.

Today is 22 February. The date has passed, but the thought remains worth holding onto.

What is your mother tongue? 🌏
