Language advocacy

African Tongue assists local communities and language activists to spread awareness about their language in the hopes of gaining financial and institutional support for future language development and growth - most especially for the youth.

In Platfontein, South Africa, African Tongue has worked with both the !Xun and Khwe speaking communities to create a website for each advocacy group. In doing so, an online presence in the public domain is available and creates a space for transparency and accountability for the support of each language.
