Lazarus Musazitame Miti advocates the development, promotion and use of indigenous languages in southern Africa. The southern African countries used as case studies are Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. He outlines the linguistic ecology of the region, considers the language policies of colonial governments in the past and of the various states today, demonstrates the role of mother tongues in the social, political and economic development of their speakers and hence their countries, considers why these languages are still not taken seriously by Africans, and how language rights are and should be treated as a serious human rights issue.
