International Mother Language Movement
International Mother Language Movement (IMLM) is a community
based platform in Canberra dedicated in highlighting the
importance of preserving all the languages across the world
especially endangered languages in a multilingual and
multicultural context. We are committed to sensitizing the
various Australian Governments, various communities about
the necessities of taking appropriate measures to protect
and preserve all the spoken languages including indigenous
languages as a means to strengthen the multicultural bond.
We believe mother language is an indispensible element of
cultural identity and protecting and preserving all the
languages across all communities will lead to a more
cohesive society based on equity and eliminate the scope of
an important source of cultural discrimination.
IMLM Vision
We will promote linguistic diversity and develop a multilingual society to preserve cultural pluralism and greater understanding, trust, tolerance and mutual respect across all communities.
IMLM Mission
We will establish International Mother Language Day as a day of great/national significance by bringing people from different communities to a common ground to celebrate the value of unity through linguistic and cultural diversity.
