United nations has a international mother language day, a day to celebrate the diversity of languages. You can see its page here: http://www.un.org/en/events/motherlanguageday/
If you kindly look at the third paragraph, you can see that "International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. The date represents the day in 1952 when students demonstrating for recognition of their language, Bangla, as one of the two national languages of the then Pakistan, were shot and killed by police in Dhaka, the capital of what is now Bangladesh." You can see here that the name of the language used by UN is "Bangla". And the international mother language day is celebrated on the date when some of its speakers gave up their lives to bring to others the right to speak in their mother tongue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991002 Title: Change name for bn-BD from 'Bengali(Bangladesh)' to 'Bangla(Bangladesh)') To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iso-codes/+bug/991002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
