On February 21, South Ural State University held a concert for the International Mother Language Day prepared by students and teaching staff members of the Institute of Linguistics and International Communications. The university has been organizing the Mother Language Day event for three years in a row now, and it has already become a tradition.
People around the world celebrate this day to remind everyone about the importance of preserving languages, as well as maintaining the diversity of cultures and traditions. But within the walls of the university it is also important because international students can listen to their mother languages and feel at home.
The event brought together students of various ages, nationalities and majors. Students from China, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, Guinea, and other countries performed before the audience and demonstrated the beauty of their mother languages.
The students were happy to sing songs and recite poems in Chinese, Turkmen, German, Uzbek, Spanish, Arabic, and Farsi. Speakers of such unusual languages as Pular and Wolof also performed.
