UNESCO is preparing to celebrate the first ever World Turkic Language Family Day on 15 December, following a decision by UNESCO’s General Conference in Samarkand establishing the date as an annual observance.
UNESCO described the move as an important step toward promoting and recognising linguistic diversity, which it says enriches humanity’s shared cultural heritage.
15 December will now be observed each year to honour the shared language and culture of Turkic-speaking communities.
The initiative supports global efforts to promote multilingualism and cultural diversity. Officials say the observance aligns with the United Nations’ broader language agenda.
The initiative to establish World Turkic Language Family Day was jointly proposed by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan, and received the support of 21 countries.
