Cornish language supporters, learners and speakers will be using their social media on Tuesday, February 21 to join in an international event online; The Mother Language Meme Challenge.

Co-organised by partners from all over the world the Mother Language Meme Challenge invites speakers to create a meme (social media images with a caption) in their mother language.

This is a fun online campaign to commemorate the day by creating a humorous or reflective internet meme in a native tongue.

The event was founded to promote and celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity around the world, with a special emphasis on indigenous, minority, heritage, and endangered languages.

People in Cornwall are being asked to create their own memes about the topic and to share/tweet them with the hashtags: #memeML, #motherlanguageday and #Kernewek.
