Local Languages Demand More space on the Internet
I am excited at the aggression with which African nations are claiming back one of their most prized possesion: Their indeginous LANGUAGE, and its use in the global economy.
Doesnt the Unicode consortium strike you as a lil neoColonialist? I mean its not a technical issue..for petes sake Bulgarian (no offence to any of our beloved bulgarian readers) enunciation can be encoded into the unicode character set..The article hits that sucker right on the head..it all comes down to business and the money.
A linguistic issue? - cmon..we can compromise that retardedly complex pronounciation of combining b and v in kimeru..just let us put a foot into the door..
Face it : Africa is a high growth market in the ICT industry, so if we have to learn friggin English to get a good educaton from your country, isnt it only fair that you learn Swahili to gain ground in our regional market.
But then again..who said Business is meant to be fair...
