The Language Movement (Bengali: ভাষা আন্দোলন Bhasha Andolon) was a cultural and political movement in the former East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1952.

The Bengali population, which was an ethnic majority in erstwhile Pakistan, was not in agreement with this and started a movement to provide equal status for their own language, Bangla.
