South African Language Rights Monitor 2008 / Suid-Afrikaanse Taalregtemonitor 2008

The bilingual South African Language Rights Monitor 2008 / Suid-AfrikaanseTaal regtemonitor 2008 is the seventh annual report on the situation pertaining to language rights and language matters in general in South Africa. It cultivates an awareness of language rights and promotes a culture of taking proactive measures in order to oppose violations of language rights. Such awareness could lead, on the one hand, to the further democratisation of the community, and on the other, to increasing participation in public life.
