🗓 Leap year. Année bissextile. Schaltjahr.

We mark this rare February 29 by celebrating the unique nature of the EU.

Our Union, with 24 EU official languages, shows what being united in diversity means.

Multilingualism is our greatest strength– It breaks barriers and helps us travel, collaborate, and understand each other.

Let's celebrate it every year, every day.

Via Wiki :

> Le maltais (en maltais : Malti) est une langue chamito-sémitique (ou afro-asiatique) de la famille des langues sémitiques. Elle est rattachée à l'arabe maghrébin. Elle est la seule langue nationale de Malte et, avec l'anglais, une des deux langues officielles du pays ; elle est aussi une des vingt-quatre langues officielles de l'Union européenne, la seule qui soit sémitique.

@EU_Commission but wait there is more! Some languages are not EU official languages but are official languages inside the EU, such as Catalan, spoken by 9 million and understood by 11. More speakers than several of the EU official languages. Time we do something about it???

@EU_Commission You actually have the nerve to praise the EU?There are so many countries in the EU but there is not an international e-commerce platform created by Europe itself,not a world-renowned international social software,not an internationally accepted search engine ( t snot the browser). They are It's not even as good as India in this regard. Is this because EU lack Internet technology talents or internet technology talents in EU countries lack business acumen or entrepreneurial spirit?

@EU_Commission Hello, European Union. I’m Canadian, and we value our official bilingualism as much as I value my multilingualism. So, to that end, a leap year in (Traditional) Chinese is 閏年 (rùnnián).
