Indigenous Languages – Critical Data Source for National Development

Description

As the keynote speaker for Ghana’s first indigenous language spelling bee, the “Spelling G”, launched  on 13th July 2023 at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (LBC Auditorium), Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Kambon demystifies scientific terminology as simply greco-roman baby talk and demonstrates how indigenous languages, through archaisms, neologisms, coinages and coirrowing can develop much more scientific and accurate terms than that which currently exists in english and related languages. With copious examples, this riveting talk is a shining example of the potential of our linguistic repertoire for national development in Ghana and beyond!
