Kyrgyz Language Day is observed in Kyrgyzstan every September 23 to commemorate the adoption of a law on the language of the Kyrgyz SSR in 1989, which officially recognized the Kyrgyz language as the state language. This law also guaranteed the right to choose the language of communication and supported the development of other national languages within the republic. Although the holiday does not have official status, it holds significant importance for the people of Kyrgyzstan. On this day, the President and Prime Minister deliver congratulatory speeches, and various events are organized by the government, including the publication of Kyrgyz books and dictionaries. The celebration emphasizes the cultural identity and heritage of the Kyrgyz people.
