| Sheikh Mujib-ur Rahman |
1795: American congress decides to publish federal statutes in English only, rather than, as had been proposed, in both English and German. It is this vote which is believed to have given rise to the legend of German nearly becoming the official language of the United States.
1952: Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman starts a hunger strike in support of the demand of Bengali being made the state language of East Pakistan.
