Get the 2019 UN International Language Day Mini Sheet Issued by the New York Office
The United Nations declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages to raise awareness of the many native languages across the globe that are rapidly disappearing. In fact, for many, there are only a handful of fluent speakers of these languages left.
In honor of the Year of Indigenous Languages, the UN Postal Administration issued stamps featuring greetings from different countries. They were issued on February 21, 2019, also known as International Mother Language Day. The stamps from the New York office pictured words of welcome in Filipino, Mandarin Chinese, Swahili, Tamil, Portuguese, Persian, Italian, Bengali, Hungarian, Kazakh, English, Thai, and Czech/Slovak.
The people of the United States speak a variety of different languages, but perhaps the most unique are Native American languages. While some of these, like Navajo, are spoken by thousands of people, others are slowly becoming less common as the last native speakers pass away. It's the hope of the United Nations Year of Indigenous Languages to encourage the preservation of native languages for future generations and, in turn, ensure the survival of diverse culture traditions as well.
