Implications of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on the Development of Indigenous Languages of South Africa

Indigenous languages are the carriers of the communication, culture, and identity. It is through language that one expresses one's thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Unfortunately, colonialism created serious problems and obstacles in the development of African indigenous languages. European languages are used in Africa, rated as official languages of African countries while indigenous languages are sidelined and marginalized.

Intellectual decolonization is prudent for the realization of emancipation of the indigenous languages.
