The University of California system has a number of African languages specialists on its faculty and several campuses offer African language instruction in scheduled classes or as directed studies tutorials. Over the years, African languages that students have been able to study at the University of California number in the dozens. To share some of their expertise in African languages, University of California faculty members have begun creating web sites on languages in which they specialize. The faculty hope to add to these sites continually. The links below will take you to the sites now available.

Encyclopedia African languages African languages, geographic rather than linguistic classification of languages spoken on the African continent. Historically the term refers to the languages of sub-Saharan Africa, which do not belong to a single family, but are divided among several distinct linguistic stocks. It is estimated that more than 800 languages are spoken in Africa; however, they belong to comparatively few language families. Some 50 African languages have more than half a million speakers each, but many others are spoken by relatively few people. Tonality is a common feature of indigenous African languages. There are usually two or three tones (based on pitch levels rather than the rising and falling in inflections of Chinese tones) used to indicate semantic or grammatical distinction. In the last few decades great strides have been made in the study and classification of the African languages, although the results are still far from definitive. The principal linguistic families of Africa are now generally said to be Afroasiatic ; Niger-Kordofanian (including Niger-Congo); Nilo-Saharan; and Khoisan, or Click; two other stocks

Appreciating African Languages Just like there are many languages spoken in the United States, many languages and dialects are spoken in Africa. There are over 1,000 languages spoken in Africa! Some are linked to the earliest communications between humans, while others remain as evidence of conquerors of the past who forced their cultures and languages on Africa. English French, Portugese, and Arabic are official languages of many of the countries in Africa. It's many languages testify to the vast diversity of the African people. Here is "hello" in five different languages spoken in Africa: Tswana - Dumela (doo MAY lah) Tsotsi Talk - Hey-tah (HAY tah) French - Bonjour (bohn ZHOOR) Swahili - Jambo (JAHM boh) Arabic - Marhaba (MAHR hah bah) Resources: http://www.AfricaOnline.com/AfricaOnline/kidsonly/languages/index.html http://www.elite.net/~runner/jennifers/hello.htm Klinker, Susan; 1998 Ouelessebougou-Utah Alliance Calender; Inoway Design.

AFRICAN LOCAL LANGUAGES About AISI ICT Policies Outreach Links AFRICAN LOCAL LANGUAGES Nav: Home Promoting the use of African local languages in ICTs As the use of the Internet and its resources spread, it is becomingly increasingly clear that Africans need information in their own languages to promote greater access to the information society. Consequently, ECA's programme on promoting African languages remains a challenge for the continent and represents a real form of democratizing access to the information society. AISI emphasizes the importance of preserving and promoting African cultures which include the usage of local languages and content creation, in addition to the assistance towards the development of the National Information and Communication Infrastructure (NICI) plans. Programme/Activities: Bamako 2002 pre-conference workshop on African Languages and the Information Society The Bamako 2002 Declaration clearly spells out the importance of supporting African local languages for local content development, and thus to ensure Africa's active participation in the information society development. This also included addressing the continent's linguistic specificities with the introduction of new technologies that ensures access for all. The Bamako Declaration acknowledged the continent's rich cultural diversity and urged that it should be reflected in cyberspace with accompanying funds for digital archiving of traditional knowledge and heritage as Africa's contribution to the global information society.

Only then will we make of our Regional Economic Communities true instruments of African integration, and the African Union will become a reality for our peoples rehabilitated and reinstalled in their identity and in the historical and cultural continuity of their areas. Thus, the vehicular cross-border languages will strengthen the relationships between the populations, beyond the political boundaries, which should be considered, as we always said, not as separation lines but rather as stitches for the lacerated sociocultural tissue, torn to pieces only 116 years ago, stitching lines for these border lands and villages of our continent so much in search of unity" Alpha Oumar KONARE President of the Republic of Mali (Excerpt from the President's Speech delivered on the occasion of the launch of the activities of the African Academy of Languages, September 8th, 2001)

Origins of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade When the Portuguese first sailed down the Atlantic African coast in the 1430s, they were interested in one thing. Surprisingly, given modern perspectives, it was not slaves but gold. However, by 1500 they had traded 81,000 Africans to Europe, nearby Atlantic islands, and to Muslim merchants in Africa.
