The Development and Intellectualisation of African Languages Revisited. by Ndoleriire, Oswald Kyamulesire

“…Thereafter, the case of intellectualising languages in Asia reveals a situation where the exercise was quite successful in the case of Malay in Indonesia and Malaysia but less successful with Tagalog converting into Filipino in the Philippines. The case of India is of particular interest to Africa due to a common colonial heritage and the multiplicity of languages because the Indian experience has been relatively successful. …”
