English Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April, the date traditionally observed as the birthday of William Shakespeare. The Day is the result of a 2010 initiative
by the Department of Public Information, establishing language days
for each of the Organization's six official languages. The purpose of
the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural
diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages
throughout the Organization.
