Theme
Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO entireties up the subject of 2019 through these words; "Books are a type of social articulation that lives through and as a major aspect of a picked language. Every production is made in a particular language and is proposed for a language-explicit perusing gathering of people. A book is in this manner composed, delivered, traded, utilized and acknowledged in a given semantic and social setting. This year we feature this imperative measurement in light of the fact that 2019 imprints the International Year of Indigenous Languages, driven by UNESCO, to reaffirm the responsibility of the global network in supporting indigenous people groups to save their societies, information and rights."
