South African Language Rights Monitor 2004: Third report on the South African Language Rights Monitor Project

The South African Language Rights Monitor (SALRM) Project surveys the mainstream newspapers of South Africa with a view to compile annual reports on the developments on the language front in the country. While the main focus is on language rights and language (rights) activism, the yearly Monitor also covers other language-related problems, including name changes and aspects of language promotion.
