African languages: youth revives a heritage threatened with disappearance

A television game show in Lagos, Nigeria, enforces a rule where speaking English results in a loss, showcasing the youth's commitment to African languages. Young individuals, such as Nyashadzashe Machingura, are learning vernacular languages like Shona, reflecting a linguistic revival after decades of colonialism. Africa, with over a billion inhabitants, is home to between 1,500 and 3,000 languages, and this renewed interest is also creating business opportunities.
