UN English Language Day is observed annually on April 23. The event was established by the UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization)in 2010 to seeking to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization. April 23 was chosen as the date for the English language because it is the anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birthday.
