On International Mother Language Day, we celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural diversity that defines our Union, as well as the importance of protecting and promoting mother tongues across Europe.
The EU is home to:
🌍 24 official languages
🎉 60 regional or minority languages spoken by 40 million people
Multilingualism is a founding principle of our Union and part of what makes our continent so vibrant.
This diversity is our strength.
