Supporting the goals and ideals of International Mother Language Day in bringing attention to the importance of preserving linguistic and cultural heritage through education.

House Resolution 138 is a non-binding measure that expresses formal congressional support for the goals of International Mother Language Day, which is observed annually on February 21. The resolution recognizes the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, particularly through educational programs that encourage the use of native languages. While it does not create new laws or mandate federal spending, it serves as an official statement of support for multilingualism and the protection of endangered languages within the United States and globally.
