Monument to the native language in Deda Ena Park

The monument to the native language in Deda Ena Park in Tbilisi is dedicated to the historical events of April 14, 1978, which became a symbol of the struggle for the preservation of the Georgian language and national identity. On this day, thousands of Tbilisi residents united in a mass protest against the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution of the Georgian SSR, which provided for giving the Russian language the status of a second state language. Thanks to the determination and solidarity of citizens, the amendment was never adopted, preserving the Georgian language in its unique status. The monument is an important historical site that recalls the importance of linguistic and cultural identity for the people of Georgia. A visit to this place may be especially interesting for those who are interested in the history of national identity and cultural heritage of Georgia.
