Bibliozone
“A people that loses its language or languages is a people that loses its words, and when a people lose its words, it loses its soul and vision of the world. When this happens the community in question become lodged in dependence that lasts until it recovers its words and begins to articulate its past, present and future, nationally and internationally."
Prince Kum'a Ndumbe III - Cameroonian historian
Foresight For Development turns the spotlight on the future of language.
