Today Is UN English Language Day by privaldo: 2:46pm On Apr 23, 2019
UN English Language Day is observed annually on 23rd April.

The event was established by UN's Department of Public Information in 2010 "to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages (English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish) throughout the Organization.

For the English language, 23rd April was chosen because it is the date "traditionally observed as both the birthday and death of William Shakespeare". Other dates were selected for the other five official languages.
