    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.

    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.

    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.

    Two of my favourite poets in conversation is like a dream. Two of a kind that blew my mind I hold in such high esteem. I've been wrapped in Lebo's ribbon of rhythm since I was a teen. Always admired her from afar as my poetic queen. I've sat watching the river dance tides on Tumi's artistry. Our very own rap lyrical God is a part of art's history. An honourable mention to the rest of the panel. Your contributions to the fabric of our culture are not lost on me.

    🔥Bro this was nicely executed, I don’t wannah lie. They all had substance, humble and they showed a willingness to learn from each other to understand the various perspectives each individual holds. Great conversation, Immaculate articulation of the importance of understanding the intelligence within our languages. In conclusion language forms our thoughts, our thoughts form our behaviours, and our behaviours dictates our culture. Indeed language is a tool used to elevate our perceptions on the essence of life to influence our spiritual consciousness. 🔥

    I disagree with uBaba uNdaba: Afrikaans wasn't created by Malay Indians in the Cape... Malays arrived later as slaves. Indians were imported as slaves into KZN. Afrikaans was created by the Khoi, San & Xhosa-speaking ppl who traded with ships that passed by in the Cape, en route to the East for spices & silk. Agreed with Stogie that it's the best example on HOW TO formalize an indigenous language.
