Language is a tool that we use everyday to communicate, listen, write, and perform various tasks. However it is estimated that  that one language dies out every 14 days. Today we are experiencing what we call "Language Death and Language Loss" in our Society because people have decided to loose their identity and cultural practices because of modernization. What can be done to prevent our languages from extincting? I think like minded organization must partner with our South African Government to make sure that people are well educated about their languages. Me and You are responsible for this campaign. Me and You are the ones that are responsible for the crises we are facing today. Parents, encourage your to learn in their home language. As much as we are excited about taking our kids to Model C Schools whereby you find out that you child has to learn in English and Afrikaans only, what about his mother tongue? His Identity? I am taking about Sesotho, Tsonga, IsiZulu and other languages that form the 11 official languages of South Africa. I am looking forward to hearing of more solution on how we can preserve our languages. Lets Connect! What Do You Think?
