Many African languages are poorly resourced, some are also endangered.
Language data should be considered a public good as it can enable use of
AI in many settings. It does also enable easier surveillance of people
that use that language. There does not seem to be a government policy
for local languages - even materials for school curricular such as
standard texts and dictionaries are few. Use of local languages at
county level is probably the easiest place to start as there would be a
sufficient concentration of active language users. Languages do divide,
but they also enable diversity in culture and approaches to problem
solving. While the ODPC has a role to play, probably the main
governmental actor is the Ministry of Sports, Culture and National
Heritage. The greatest widespread use of local languages is on radio.
