    Abba Ayalew Amlak... Bongani iNkosi 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    Language is a tool to try assist the spirits to communicate.
    We're too obsessed with the surface than the depth.

      Beautifully put. I was waiting for him to speak there in the beginning, that's why they let him speak last.. they also kinda knew he was gonna shut it down. Living legend this guy.

      African spirituality is rich and profound, but there's a growing need to balance this with practical engagement in various global disciplines. While our philosophical and cultural heritage is invaluable, it's crucial to also foster growth in science, mathematics, engineering, commerce, and literature-not just in music and film.
      Language plays a vital role in how we preserve, create, and share ideas. With over 2,000 languages across Africa, there’s an urgent need to document and archive them. However, we must also embrace modern technology to facilitate better communication and understanding. Developing African-focused bridging languages or creating faster methodologies for translating information to and from our native tongues can enhance our ability to engage with the world.
      This is the direction I believe we should move towards, and it’s what I am committed to working on.

    "Indigenous language is my spirit trying to reach out to you in communication." - Abba Ayalew Amlak wow! Like that's it, that's truly all there is to. Thank you for that simplified definition. I'll take that with me.

      I think its because humans react positively to only what they can comprehend, and rather than searching deeper and asking for understanding they hide their lack of understanding through humour or mocking someone. A great example is Steve Khompela

    You know I love Stogie in this dialogue. Stogie represents that (and apologies I come across badly Stogie) innocent, naive voice in this engagement because he introduces disruptive narratives that call for interrogation and further breakdown.
    I love all panelists, Stogie in this instance represents quiet a large pool of people who would appreciate these answers.
    Loving this.

    The opening statement about indigenous languages being lost every two weeks deeply resonates with me because I can see this happening within me and my own generation from the 90s. It breaks my heart even more to realize that it is even worse for our children and the coming generations. If this trend continues, the loss rate could extend to a language lost every month in just a few years.

    This conservation is like food to the soul. I spent my early years not speaking vernac. I made sure my son speaks Setswana from day one. And now we're struggling to get him to know Ndebele, he hates not understanding it, which makes me so proud. I'm glad he's interested.

    Language is mathematics has wave values, and phonetics plays a huge role in the weight of words. Hence we know that through word we create space either for conflict, peace even sacred space. When one keeps quite about issues by not speaking of them that can lead to sickness. Therefore language is spiritual, if kids don't communicate in a native language they can be lost in communicating with ancestors. My great grand dad never knew english i cant go to his grave in lesotho and ke bue sekgowa.🙏
