"Voilà 25 ans que l'Unesco organise des conférences, réunions, colloques, consultations, stages... et séminaires internationaux et régionaux sur les aspects multiples des problèmes que posent la modernisation et l'emploi des langues africaines dans l'alphabétisation, l'enseignement scolaire et les activités culturelles. Les spécialistes qu'elle dut consulter et réunir à ces occasions décrivent ici, en toute sérénité, les difficultés réelles qu'il faudra surmonter et exposent sans équivoque comment les langues africaines, enfin réhabilitées et systématiquement enseignées et utilisées dans les écoles, favoriseront le développement harmonieux des pays africains en évitant le déracinement et l'acculturation de leurs élites. Cet ouvrage que Nubia publie dans le cadre d'une collection nouvelle (Uhuuru ou "Libération") nous montre ainsi les langues africaines dans le rôle éminent et irremplaçable qu'elles jouent en tant que véhicules de savoir, sources de culture et facteurs de développement et de libération."--Last page.

Historical Dictionary of Guinea
Author: Mohamed Saliou Camara
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810879697
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
The most significant thing about Guinea is its potential. It is strategically located in West Africa, with a well-educated and hardworking population, and endowed with considerable natural resources, indeed, enough to make it reasonably affluent if properly utilized. But this potential has never really been tapped, due mainly to bad politics with military men following a charismatic politician, until finally democracy has been achieved. So, more than half-a-century after achieving independence, the question remains unanswered: which way will Guinea turn? This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Guinea covers the full scope of Guinea’s history. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800 cross-referenced entries on key events, leaders, governmental, international, religious, and other private organizations, policies, political movements and parties, economic elements and many other areas that have shaped the country’s trajectory. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Guinea.

The Arabic Script in Africa
Author: Meikal Mumin
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004256806
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
The Arabic script in Africa contains sixteen papers on the past and present use of Arabic script to write African languages. These writing traditions, which are sometimes collectively referred to as Ajami, are discussed for single or multiple languages, with examples from all major linguistic phyla of Africa but one (Khoisan), and from all geographic areas of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and South Africa), as well as a paper on the Ajami heritage in the Americas. The papers analyze (ethno-) historical, literary, (socio-) linguistic, and in particular grammatological aspects of these previously understudied writing traditions and exemplify their range and scope, providing new data for the comparative study of writing systems, literacy in Africa, and the history of (Islam in) Africa.

African Languages in a Digital Age
Author: Don Osborn
Publisher: IDRC
ISBN: 0796922497
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
With increasing numbers of computers and diffusion of the internet around the world, localisation of the technology, and the content it carries, into the many languages people speak is becoming an ever more important area for discussion and action. Localisation, simply put, includes translation and cultural adaptation of user interfaces and software applications, as well as the creation and translation of internet content in diverse languages. It is essential in making information and communication technology more accessible to the populations of the poorer countries, increasing its relevance to their lives, needs, and aspirations, and ultimately in bridging the 'digital divide'.

Standardizing Minority Languages
Author: Pia Lane
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317298861
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781138125124, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license. This volume addresses a crucial, yet largely unaddressed dimension of minority language standardization, namely how social actors engage with, support, negotiate, resist and even reject such processes. The focus is on social actors rather than language as a means for analysing the complexity and tensions inherent in contemporary standardization processes. By considering the perspectives and actions of people who participate in or are affected by minority language politics, the contributors aim to provide a comparative and nuanced analysis of the complexity and tensions inherent in minority language standardisation processes. Echoing Fasold (1984), this involves a shift in focus from a sociolinguistics of language to a sociolinguistics of people. The book addresses tensions that are born of the renewed or continued need to standardize ‘language’ in the early 21st century across the world. It proposes to go beyond the traditional macro/micro dichotomy by foregrounding the role of actors as they position themselves as users of standard forms of language, oral or written, across sociolinguistic scales. Language policy processes can be seen as practices and ideologies in action and this volume therefore investigates how social actors in a wide range of geographical settings embrace, contribute to, resist and also reject (aspects of) minority language standardization.
