Video-fix：国际母语日
Welcome, language lovers! Do you know that, while you are reading these words, the world is celebrating the International Mother Language Day 2021?
Have you ever heard about the event that takes place every 21 February? UNESCO first proclaimed it in 1999 to promote multilingualism and raise awareness of linguistic diversity around the world. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly announced the Sustainable Development Global Goals, outlining the way to a peaceful, prosperous, healthy future for all.
Multilingualism guarantees inclusion, therefore it works towards the United Nations’ objective to leave no one behind.
According to the Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger1, at least 43% of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are at risk of extinction. Why? UNESCO points to the fact that only a few hundred languages are present in education systems and public domains. In the digital world, we recognize less than a hundred. The International Mother Language Day promotes early childhood education in mother tongues as being fundamental for learning. Inclusive schooling in times of the pandemic is more important than ever. Families, teachers and policymakers should come together to ensure multilingual education for children all over the world. Today’s event is an introduction to the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages that starts in 2022.
TermCoord is celebrating the International Mother Language Day in our favourite way – by learning! Watch the educational video by BBC to find out the origin behind the term ‘mother tongue’. Why do we call our first language like that? And what does gender have to do with it? Let’s find out!

欢迎各位语言爱好者！你知道吗，就在你读这些文字的同时，全世界正在庆祝2021年国际母语日？
你听说过每年2月21号举行的活动吗？教科文组织于1999年首次宣布，旨在促进使用多种语文，提高世界各地对语言多样性的认识。2015年，联合国大会宣布了可持续发展全球目标，为所有人构建和平，繁荣，健康的未来指明了道路。
使用多种语文保障包容，因此，它致力于实现联合国不让任何人掉队的目标。
根据《世界濒危语言地图集》，世界上大约6000种语言中，至少有43%面临灭绝的危险。为什么？教科文组织指出，只有几百种语言存在于教育系统和公共领域。在数字世界里，我们能识别的不到一百个。国际母语日促进以母语进行幼儿教育，认为这是学习的基础。在这一大流行病时期，包容性教育比以往任何时候都更加重要。家庭，教师和政策制定者应走到一起，确保为全世界的儿童提供多语言教育。今天的活动是对2022年开始的联合国土著语言国际十年的介绍。
TermCoord将以我们最喜爱的方式--通过学习来庆祝国际母语日！观看BBC的教育视频，找出“母语”这个术语背后的来历。为什么我们要这样称呼我们的第一语言？性别与此有什么关系？让我们一探究竟！
