Abstract:   The African Academy of Languages (ACALAN) is finalizing a proposal for a comprehensive platform for African languages in Cyberspace. The platform will serve four functions:

  1. Information about ACALAN and African language policies and commissions
  2. Information about African language research and characteristics
  3. A hub for growth and dissemination of African linguistic data
  4. A communications center for research and development on African languages

The goal is to produce an ever-growing central resource for scholars, policy-makers, students, and the public to learn about, contribute to, and benefit from knowledge regarding all African languages.
