Date:

Justice Minister Alma Zadić (Greens) swore in a video on Instagram. Underneath, she received comments such as “very nice”, “fine” and “okay.” crown.at has looked at what the video is about.

February 21 is International Mother Language Day. This is a day of remembrance declared by UNESCO to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. Zadić used this as an opportunity to swear in Italian in a video on Tuesday. Those who watch the video will also learn that the Minister of Justice speaks several languages ​​- in particular her native language Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BKS), German, English and Italian. Zadić was taught German, and she also learned English and Italian at school.

Favorite words start with “ur”
In German, the minister’s favorite words start with “ur”, like urschön, as she reveals in the video. In BKS, it’s a word that translates to something like get out. With that she wakes up her son. In Italian, she especially likes a curse, and in English the word gorgeous (which translates to wonderful). In her post for the video, the 38-year-old, who lives in Vienna, asks users what their favorite words are in their native language.

Among the first answers are mega nice, mega cool, okay (everything is clear), but also an interview. In addition, the minister, who works in Vienna, received heart emojis, flowers and clapping hands.

Half of the languages ​​are threatened with extinction
International Mother Language Day has been celebrated since 2000 and aims, among other things, to remind people that about half of all languages ​​spoken worldwide are threatened with extinction. Some languages ​​are only spoken by fewer than 10,000 people. An example is Lower Sorbian in Germany. These languages ​​are often not passed on to the next generations and are therefore forgotten.

For example, the most widely spoken languages ​​in the world are Mandarin (mainly in China, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia), Spanish, English, Hindi (mainly in India, parts of Nepal and Pakistan), Arabic and French. In Vienna, 197 schools offer first language education in 24 languages, including BKS, Arabic, Kurdish, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian. The mother tongue lessons are integrated into the regular lessons. The courses are held in the afternoon for the language groups that are less represented in the schools.
