Kokborok Day is observed annually on January 19 to celebrate the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Kokborok language spoken by the Tripuri community in Tripura. The date marks the historic recognition of Kokborok as an official language of the state in 1979. The observance highlights the long struggle for tribal identity, linguistic rights, and cultural preservation. Through cultural programmes, seminars, and literary events, the day promotes awareness about indigenous languages and their role in preserving traditions, history, and community knowledge in the face of globalization.
