In the end, was killed four student activists. After the death of these and other residents of Pakistan and a number of riots and liberation movements, Bengali was declared the official language in the country. The struggle for the right to use the familiar childhood demeanor was a success.

In our country the love for the native language can be compared with the feeling of true patriotism that pervades all and every one of us. Especially if we are talking about the native Slavic values, to which we can confidently attributed to the Russian language.

There are many different worthy statements about the Russian word, but it's better than the classics, yet no one has expressed on this subject. The most accurate sayings and clearly reflects our spirit of patriotism can be attributed to the words of the great Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, who said: “...you alone are my support, o great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language». Or suffice it to recall the strong statement of Belinsky, he argued that «Russian language – one of the richest languages in the world, and there is no doubt”. Perhaps, it is difficult to disagree with these brilliant people, because thanks to our language we think, communicate, create.
