Description
Introduction As a budding scholar in linguistic studies, I have attended some conferences whose themes addressed the vexed issue of the marginalisation of African languages and the imperative need to develop and empower them. Apart from such attendances at conferences, I have also read articles written by experts in linguistics and the central issue has been that African languages are endangered due to the hegemonic influence of either English or French. Having followed this issue with very keen interest, I would like to take a retrospective look, at this juncture, to assess the journey so far and reflect on the essence of the 'Save African Languages Project'. This is with a view to ascertaining how close (preferably) we are to the African linguistics of our dream or how far (regrettably) we are from it.
