Academy TV Australia's video: Bangla Academy Australia s International Mother Language Day sydney NSW - MLMF IMLD 2016

Bangla Academy hosting International Mother Language Day in sydney: Started February 2006 and at the Sydney Parliament house. February 2015 and February 2016. Australia is a melting pot of cultures and languages, and tragically many of the languages that were spoken in this country have been lost along with the first peoples who spoke it. Some of our newer arrivals, however, also struggle to maintain that connection to their mother tongue and their homes. International Mother Language Day gives us a perfect opportunity to recognise our nation as a multi-lingual society, and highlight the importance of languages to group and individual identity. The Daily show joined by Anwar Akash, 2SER producer and director of the Bangla Academy Australia, to talk about what’s happening on Mother Language Day.
