FORUM: “Promote the use of English.” English language Day 2023; Because the United Nations has only six official languages, many delegates must speak in a language other than their main language, and this poses a special challenge. The history of the UN’s official languages, presented by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, gives the history of when each of the six official languages of the United Nations became official, beginning in 1946. Follow the conversation with the hashtags, #EnglishLanguageDay; #23April; #WilliamShakespeare.
