August 31, 2024: ROMANIAN LANGUAGE Day

August 31st highlights the ROMANIAN LANGUAGE DAY, which offers Romanians (around the world & in the country) a new occasion to honor their roots.
May we each take a moment to remember Eminescu’s comment vis-à-vis of this, which says: “The language is the very flower of Romanians' ethnic soul”. 
Cine nu gândeşte în limba maternă şi-a uitat drumul spre casă.

● Historic background info:
Romanian Language is mother tongue of around 30 million individuals, taught as a foreign language in universities, in 45 countries.
Romanian Language Day is “celebrated nationally on August 31, starting from the year 2013 when the law establishing this holiday was enacted. The programs and cultural-educational events, with evocative or scientific characteristics, dedicated to this day emphasize the importance of the Romanian language not only as a means of communication but also as a repository of history, culture, and national identity”. (Source: Business Reviews News)
