Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia African language Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The African languages are currently divided into the following four language families Most languages are known to belong to language families (called simply "families" for the rest of this article). An accurately identified family is a phylogenetic unit, i.e., all its members derive from a common ancestor. The ancestor is very seldom known to us directly, since most languages have a very short recorded history. However, it is possible to recover many of the features of the common ancestor of related languages by applying comparative method a reconstructive procedure worked out by 19th-century linguist August Schleicher. It can demonstrate the family status of many of the groupings listed below. Click the link for more information. Afro-Asiatic languages The Afro-Asiatic languages are a language family of about 240 languages and 250 million people widespread throughout North Africa and Southwest Asia. The following language subfamilies are included: Berber languages Chadic languages Egyptian languages Semitic languages Cushitic languages Beja language (controversial; generally classified as part of Cushitic)

86. ERIC L & L Digest african languages at the K12 Level. To date, no teachers of african languageshave participated in the preparation of generic standards at these levels. http://www.cal.org/resources/digest/kuntz001.html

Digest EDO-FL-97-02 See other CAL Digests on foreign language education African Languages at the K-12 Level Patricia Kuntz, University of Wisconsin, Madison Although the teaching of African languages at the elementary and secondary levels is rare, a number of schools offer one or more of the following major African languages at these levels: Arabic (North Africa), Hausa (West Africa), Swahili (East Africa), Wolof (Senegal), Yoruba (Nigeria), and Xhosa and Zulu (South Africa). Strictly speaking, Arabic is a colonial language brought to North Africa by Arabs from the Arabian peninsula. Through the spread of Islam and the introduction of Quranic schools, Arabic has flourished in Africa. U.S. universities and government agencies classify Arabic as both an African and a Middle Eastern language. Heritage Language American children whose ancestors spoke an African language often seek to study it. These students include both recent immigrants and African Americans whose ancestors were slaves. The latter often have limited knowledge of their language heritage, because slavery discouraged the retention of language and cultural identity. Given this loss, many African-American students choose to study one of the more prominent African languages, such as Hausa, Swahili, Yoruba, or Zulu. Recently, African Americans who promote an Afrocentric curriculum have included the instruction of African languages and their related cultures. In support of an Afrocentric approach to education, new African immigrants frequently teach at places such as The Swahili Institute (Chicago).

92. Sources For African Language Materialsfrom The Countries Of Anglophone Africa - of view of librarians outside of the African continent, it seems that there is ageneral lack of information on how to acquire materials in african languages. http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla61/61-kaga.htm

61st IFLA General Conference - Conference Proceedings - August 20-25, 1995 Sources for African Language Materials from the Countries of Anglophone Africa Alfred Kagan, African Studies Bibliographer, University of Illinois Library, USA PAPER From the point of view of librarians outside of the African continent, it seems that there is a general lack of information on how to acquire materials in African languages. However librarians that collect heavily in Africana have some very well established mechanisms in collecting this material. Collecting Africana is unlike collecting most other materials because of the lack of well known high profile vendors and because of the low level of organization of much of the book trade in most of the countries of Africa. Many materials are only available by making direct contact with the publishers. Exchange agreements are also potentially very useful, but please be forewarned that libraries in rich countries will likely end up sending more than they receive. Those of us with adequate collection development budgets in hard currencies should not mind helping out African libraries that are suffering from the African "book famine." In this paper I will note the standard current reference sources, blanket and approval plan dealers, bookshops and publishers, printed and online library catalogs, and two microform collections.

Browning: "African languages" Next in thread: Daniel Ridings: "African languages (post scriptum)" A group consisting of members from Gothenburg (Sweden), Oslo (Norway) and Harare (Zimbabwe) have been working on a corpus-based lexicon of Shona (monolingual). The whole project goes under the name ALLEX (African Languages Lexicon Project). The first Shona corpus is being converted to TEILite format. It consists mostly of spoken material (interviews). It will be expanded and more printed material will be added in the next phase. The first phase was successfully concluded with the publication of the dictionary very recently. The next phase will also take up Ndebele, closely related to Zulu. The same kind of work will be done there. The project leader is Herbert Chimhundu at the University of Zimbabwe

Literature Kwasi Wiredu is professor of Philosophy at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and currently has a visiting professorship at Duke University. Short presentation In this issue: Democracy and Consensus in African Traditional Politics. A Plea for a Non-party Polity (deutsche Fassung) The interview was held at Jan van Eyck Akademie, Maastricht, on the 30th March 1996. K resse: Prof. Wiredu , since the early years of discussion about African philosophy you have been regarded as a "modernist", and your saying that was often quoted and very heatedly debated. Later you have more and more included reflections on philosophical concepts in your own cultural community, the Akan of Ghana, into your philosophical work and linked that to the discussion of African culture and concepts in a broader sense of philosophy altogether. So in that way you somehow reconcile what Bodunrin once called the "traditionalist" and "modernist" approaches.

How rich your cultural perspective? Is your foreign language no longer foreign? As a National Resource Center for African Area Studies, the African Studies Center at Boston University can offer you an important selection of African languages - you are fortunate to have the opportunity to learn to speak an African language and to become culturally literate, with an African teacher, in a small group. Africa is not as Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone as the British, French, and Portuguese would like us to think. Learn how to interact with Africans in their own languages, so that when you visit Africa, or go there to live or to work, you will have a totally different experience. Americans have been known to require visitors to their country to speak to them in understandable American English. Africans, on the other hand, are pleasantly surprised when they find that a visitor has made an effort to learn their language, and then extremely encouraging no matter how many mistakes you make.
