English Language Day is
celebrated on 23 April.
23 April was chosen by the
United Nations because it is the date "traditionally observed as both the
birthday and date of death of William
Shakespeare".
Shakespeare has been called the greatest writer in the English language. His
plays continue to be published, performed in theaters and seen in films almost
400 years after his death.
The United Nations
celebrated its first English Language Day on April 23, 2010.
English is one of the two working languages of
the UN Secretariat and one of the organization’s six official languages.
Many people consider English
as the unofficial “world language” because it is so widely used. English is the
main language of business and aviation. It is the most widely used language on
the Internet and social media.
The other five languages are Arabic, Chinese,
French, Russian and Spanish.
