... increasingly there are concerned African academics who want to see
movement in the direction of utilising African languages for education
and development. Linguists need to scrutinise and deconstruct the
myth of an African Tower of Babel: the idea that there is a globally
incomparable profusion of African languages. This myth has been
haunting African linguistics since the early beginnings of the systematic
study of African languages. This argument is frequendy deployed as
stock reasoning by those who suggest that because of this supposed
overwhelming diversity of speech-forms, Africans cannot practically
use their languages as languages of social, scientific and educational
development. The book brings together a number of case studies,
insights into different countries, and an examination of identified
clusters of cognate and related languages which illustrate the inordinate
levels of inconsistent labelling and identification of languages; and how
such labelling contributes to the view of profusion. ...
