Kuch imp. info aur docs iss mail ke saath bhej raha hoon, aapke ready refernce ke liye :-

The Charter of the United Nations, its 1945 constituent document, did not expressly provide for official languages of the UN. The Charter was enacted in five languages (Chinese, French, Russian, English, and Spanish) and provided (in Article 111) that the five texts are equally authentic.

In 1946, the first session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted rules of procedure concerning languages that purported to apply to “all the organs of the United Nations, other than theInternational Court of Justice”, setting out five official languages and two working languages (English and French).

Spanish was added as a third working language in addition to English and French. This was adopted in Resolution 262 (III), passed on 11 December 1948

In 1968, Russian was added as a working language of the General Assembly so that of the GA’s five official languages, four of them (all but Chinese) were working languages.

 In 1973, the General Assembly made Chinese a working language and added Arabic as both an official language and working language of the GA. Thus all six official languages were also working languages. Arabic was made an official and working language of “the General Assembly and its Main Committees”, whereas the other five languages had status in all GA committees and subcommittees (not just the main committees). 

New proposed languages

The six official languages spoken at the UN are the first or second language of 2.8 billion people on the planet, less than half of the world population. The six languages are official languages in more than half the states in the world (about one hundred).

Bengali

Being one of the most spoken languages in the World, ranking 5th or 6th [20] in 2009 elected representatives in both Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, and Tripuraunanimously voted in resolutions calling for Bengali to be made an official UN language.[21] Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also put forward the proposal during her address to the 64th UN General Assembly Session, arguing that Bengali holds a "singular place as a symbol of people's faith in the power of languages to sustain cultures, and indeed the identity of nations".[22]

Esperanto

A proposal has been made that Esperanto be adopted as an official UN language, initially as a complement to the current six official languages, with the ultimate goal of making Esperanto the primary language so that only certain documents would be translated into others, thus saving on translation costs.[23]

In 1966, the Universal Esperanto Association proposed that the UN solve its language problem by supporting use of Esperanto.[24]

Despite these attempts, consideration of adding Esperanto as an official language has never made the UN agenda.[25]

Hindustani  (Hindi)

According to a 2009 press release from its Ministry of External Affairs, the Government of India has been “working actively” to have Hindi recognized as an official language of the UN. In 2007, it was reported that the government would “make immediate diplomatic moves to see the status of an official language for Hindi at the United Nations”. 

Although it has one of the largest number of speakers in the world (approximately 800 million), Hindi is not yet an official language of the UN. The linguistic community is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Indian sub-continent and is the most spoken language there. The many variants of Hindustani complicate its recognition as an official language.

Portuguese

Many Lusophones have advocated for greater recognition of their language, being the 5th most spoken language in the World and spread over several continents: Portugal in Europe, Brazil inSouth America, Angola, Mozambique, Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé and Príncipe in Africa, and Timor-Leste and Macau in Asia. Thus, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC) demands official status of the language (with 240 million people using the language natively), as the use of Portuguese is growing strongly with the increase of African and Brazilian population. It's been noted that Portuguese “is not an international language, used in diplomacy and business the way that French is”.

In 2008 the President of Portugal announced that the eight leaders of the CPLC had agreed to take the necessary steps to make Portuguese an official language. This followed a decision by Portugal's legislators to adopt a standardization of Portuguese spelling that leans toward Brazilian Portuguese.

Turkish

In September 2011, during a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed a desire to see Turkish become an official UN language
