Focusing on the ongoing challenges faced by indigenous languages in South Africa, particularly isiXhosa, the book examines the persistent dehumanization and marginalization of these languages despite the country's newfound freedom. It explores various efforts to promote and elevate their status, identifying key factors that hinder progress. The study also provides tentative recommendations for stakeholders aiming to improve the situation of indigenous languages, making it a valuable resource for those involved in language development and empowerment initiatives.
