UNESCO’s Executive Board has unanimously adopted the proposal to proclaim Feb 9 as World Greek Language Day. Backed by 87 member - states, this decision honors the unbroken continuity of 40 centuries of oral & 35 centuries of written tradition of the Greek language, its influence on all other European languages, as well as the fact that it remains to this day an inexhaustible source of international scientific terminology.

The official proclamation of February 9th as “World Greek Language Day” will take place during the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference in November 2025.
