What an archaic thought... Mxm.. So u trying to preserve a language by only teaching a certain tribe of ppl.. Shem don't worry.. We won't force the issue.. Let's c how far u Wil get with that.. Wuda been nice 2 read albeit in english
Also , if you publish the story in both Setswana and English, how is Setswana less preserved? The logic is not make sure .
You're celebrating linguistic diversity and preserving what what.. by not giving us translations so that thoughts and stories written by a tribe can only be read by that tribe and very few others who understand. How's that diverse? Who comes up with these silly notions and ideas ? Bring back translations .
When the stories are translated, one can try to learn the indigenous language because I have English as a reference . Fundza please stop being political about everything. I learn languages through the translation and now you're ruining things. You're not preserving languages if no one can learn them right? Think.
