Store, Department, Home and other foreign words in the names of shops, cafes and restaurants in Krasnodar soon will not be.
The Cuban capital decided to abandon all foreign names.
The Cuban authorities obliged entrepreneurs to translate business into Russian.
“A sign in a foreign language or using transliteration or a sign in Russian has a big difference.
In part of the fact that 100% of our population can read, understand the sign in Russian.
And many, by ignorance and age, do not even understand what is written on these signs, ” said the chief architect of Krasnodar Artem Salamatin.
So far, the business has been given time until September 1.
But many entrepreneurs are ready to change now.
“Everything will be in Russian.
We will translate the site into Russian.
We'll change everything.
With pleasure, ” entrepreneur Hovhannes Hovhannisyan shared.
Words borrowed from foreign languages became an integral part of Russian many centuries ago.
Massive in our speech, they appeared in different iconic historical periods.
For example, the Mongol invasion.
And after the Patriotic War of 1812 - there were a lot of gallicisms, that is, French words.
Now in conversations predominate borrowing from English.
“We began to use foreign words very actively in areas where such activity had not been observed before.
First of all, it is the public sphere.
Social sphere.
Where actually came a lot of foreign words ”, – said the Chairman of the Association of teachers of literature and Russian language Lyudmila Dudova.
Russia is now determined to protect the language from excessive saturation with borrowings.
President Vladimir Putin recently signed a law “on mandatory observance of the norms of the modern Russian language when using it as a state language. ”
What specific rules are we talking about?
It's not clear yet.
They are compiled by a special government commission.
“The normative dictionary of the Russian language will be a single consistent comprehensive publication, which will be formed on the basis of dictionaries of the Russian language.
Interpretive, spelling, ” explained Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Tatiana Vasilyeva.
Thus, foreign words should disappear as much as possible from all official documents.
In addition, officials should not use anglicisms and other borrowings during public speeches and generally avoid them in their speech.
“There are so many wonderful and beautiful words in the Russian language.
But why then instead of the word mentor we say coach.
Well, it doesn't sound.
It seems to me that we need to get rid of such words that are imposed, ” said Lyudmila Skakovskaya, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture.
This law, according to officials, should protect the Russian language from attacks from abroad, where they have long been trying to abolish all Russian.
But now these sentiments have intensified even more.
The Kiev regime has long declared war on our culture and heritage.
Throughout the country, the monument to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is being demolished, because it is he who is considered the creator of the modern literary Russian language.
And it was the language issue that became one of the main reasons for the bloody confrontation in the East of Ukraine in 2014.
Residents of Donbass then did not agree with the nationalists, they did not refuse the Russian language.
“They use the term underdogs.
All these years, when the Maidan happened, they etched Russian in the Donbass, for them it is a symbol of communication.
The Russian world is hysterical.
What connects the Russian world?
The Russian language, ” said political scientist Yuri Svetov.
The fact that our language and culture need protection is also said by the leaders of other neighboring states.
During the autumn meeting of the heads of the CIS countries in Astana, the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev called on his colleagues to create an organization for the protection of the Russian language.
“Our idea is to create an international organization in the image and likeness of the UN.
Using the positive experience of Francophonie.
The headquarters of which is located in Paris, ” said President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
Rossotrudnichestvo recently conducted its own study abroad, which showed that openly Russophobic sentiments are present only among politicians.
But ordinary people continue to willingly learn our language and culture.
According to the United Nations, Russian is spoken by 258 million people worldwide.
It is one of the most popular in Eurasia, and attempts to abolish our culture have failed.
Abroad, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and other Russian classics are also read.

The bill is still under discussion in the Verkhovna Rada, but the Ministry of Education is already developing plans on how to motivate children and teachers to learn the language.
About whom it will become mandatory and what will motivate schoolchildren and teachers, exclusively for Novin.LIVE said Deputy Minister of Education and Science Andrei Vitrenko.

“This is a very necessary law for our society, because it is a worldview.
We are well aware that in our country the Russians used language, culture and literature as their weapon to convince the Ukrainian society and give their incomprehensible narratives.
We will change the vector of the movement of society from the East to the West.
Having a high level in English, the society will have access to innovative knowledge, to the world labor market, ” Vitrenko said.
He added that there are several discussion norms in the draft law itself, and now there is a discussion on them.
But Vitrenko is sure that this law does not threaten the Ukrainian language.
“In all schools of Ukraine, native speakers will be involved in teaching.
The number of subjects and modules taught in English will be increased.
But do not be afraid, it will all be done gradually, no one will immediately force you to learn physics in English, ” Vitrenko added.
According to him, the knowledge of the language will not affect all teachers.
That is, the geography teacher does not need to know a foreign one.
However, knowledge of English will become a competitive advantage in the labor market, and among teachers too.
"Particular attention will be paid to improving the qualifications of teachers of the English language for secondary schools, this will be paid special attention.
But no one will do it by administrative methods, there will be methods of soft influence.
They will motivate teachers with buns, including salaries, ” Vitrenko summed up.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine in everyday life, an increasing number of Ukrainians prefer the Ukrainian language during communication.
Thus, Russian becomes the language of national minorities.

SIMFEROPOL, 29 oct - RIA Novosti Crimea.
The emergence of a law in the Russian Federation on the protection of the Russian language from excessive borrowing is appropriate, but there should be no excesses in this matter.
This opinion on the air of the radio "Sputnik in Crimea" expressed the head of the Crimean branch of the Foundation for the development of civil society, sociologist Natalia Kiseleva.
Crimean teachers spoke out against the language repression of young people > >
Earlier, a draft law on amendments to the Federal Law "On the State Language of the Russian Federation" appeared in the system of ensuring legislative activity.
The amendments provide for the protection of the Russian language from the excessive influence of borrowed words.
In particular, we propose the emergence of normative dictionaries that fix the norms of the modern Russian literary language, where foreign words cannot be entered, with the exception of those that have no analogues in the Russian language.

“I am a supporter of this bill.
I think it should be adopted a long time ago, because we really see an unjustified dominance of foreign words.
At the same time, I, of course, do not propose to abandon all borrowed words - many of them have long and firmly entered the Russian language and became part of it, "Kiseleva said.
The sociologist emphasizes that it is impossible to introduce language restrictions in colloquial speech, especially among young people, and this is not the case in the new bill.
At the same time, in her opinion, the official use of the language should be regulated:
In the Crimea proposed to introduce fines for foreign words in advertising > >
“It ’ s about officials, the media.
For example, the latest fashionable foreign word "hub" - representatives of government agencies use it everywhere, although there is a great word in the Russian language "node": transport hub, interchange and so on, "- gives an example of a guest ether.

In addition, according to Kiseleva, it is appropriate not only to regulate the use of the Russian language in the official sphere, but also to simplify the language of regulatory documents so that the ordinary citizen can understand legal norms, which now often require interpretation by lawyers.
Earlier, Andrei Kibrik, a researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented on the relevant bill, expressed the opinion that the artificial regulation of any language, including the Russian language, is a vain and even harmful idea, since borrowing is part of a natural process that cannot be stopped or reversed.

The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Culture in early 2025 will submit a document to the government in which they will determine which foreign words and in what ratio should not be used.
It is assumed that this will help not to abuse borrowings from other languages, including in outdoor advertising, reports TASS.
The main idea is to orient society to national cultural and historical values, said on the air of the radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda ” Kirill Kabanov, Chairman of the National anti-corruption Committee, a member of the Council under the President of Russia for the development of civil society and human rights.
- The richest Russian language, unfortunately, is getting poorer.
Young people use it primitively, like all information space.
It is filled with simplified Western expressions, phrases, words, phrases.
But the question is that if we want to make our language richer, then we need to start with education, - says Kirill Kabanov. - And the question is that the love of language is not instilled so simply: they took and regulated.
Perhaps the very foreign words that the Russians displace will fall under the regulation.
- For example, documents should be understandable to any person who took them and read them.
And he may never have heard what a KPI is.
But as this global, important task to solve, except for education, I do not understand, - says Kirill Kabanov.

The regulation aims to prevent language abuse in advertising and protect the Russian language from excessive borrowed words.

The provincial press conference issued a new order.
On Monday (13), the Sichuan Provincial Language and Script Working Committee announced the use of Putonghua in public service by local party and government departments, pointing out that there are problems such as the lack of implementation requirements for the use of Putonghua and the poor standard of Putonghua among public servants.
A formal notice was issued at the meeting specifying that civil servants at all levels must use Putonghua in public service.
The provincial language commission conducted two secret visits last year and this year to investigate the use of Putonghua in public affairs activities in the province. The survey showed that, including the use of Putonghua after being reminded, the proportion of people who can communicate in Putonghua was 89.3% in the first round and 92.1% in the second round.
According to the authorities, the situation of provincial departments and units is more satisfactory, and Suining City, Chengdu and other places have scored higher in the two rounds of surveys.
However, the survey results also pointed out that some departments lacked effective Putonghua requirements and that the language standard needed to be improved.
In response to the promotion of the use of Putonghua, the Provincial Language Commission issued a notice at the meeting, requiring public servants at all levels of party and government organs and business units to use Putonghua in public office, except in special circumstances.
At the same time, units at all levels are required to learn the national language laws and regulations, display and display signs promoting Putonghua in a conspicuous position, and Putonghua education will also be included in the important content of various training courses at all levels.

The Chinese government has set a goal to reach 85% national language popularity by 2025, and regular language surveys are conducted to support strategic plans.

The Ministry of Science and Higher Education has developed a draft "Concepts for the development of language policy".
Current situation
The current language situation shows that the number of speakers of the Kazakh language is growing.
According to official data, among the Turkic-speaking peoples, 72% of Uzbeks, 71.7% of Uighurs, 58.5% of Kyrgyz speak Kazakh at the level of colloquial speech, and 12% speak Kazakh at a high level.
Among the Slavic diaspora, 25.1% of Russians, 23.7% of Ukrainians, 22.8% of Belarusians, 22.1% of Poles, as well as 25.2% of representatives of the German diaspora understand the spoken Kazakh language.
Among these diasporas, the share of reading and professionally writing in the Kazakh language is 2.9%.
These quantitative changes still require an improvement in the quality of the use of the state language.
According to the results of the National Census, the population aged 5 years and older (13,768,406 people (80%) speak the state language, of whom 8,472,661 (49.3%) speak daily life.
This indicator demonstrates that the majority of the population understands the oral Kazakh speech, reads and writes freely.
Problems in the implementation of language policy:
• in some areas of society, the state language is not fully used in accordance with its regulatory and legal status;
• in connection with the development of texts of laws in the original and other documents in the Russian language with subsequent translation, impede the functioning of the state language and the full disclosure of its potential;
• in the implementation of language policy, the opportunities of the state language to become the leading language in the field of public service, in the field of services and so on are not fully used;
• the language policy does not define mechanisms for increasing the need for the state language;
• language policy does not take into account demographic processes in the country, the characteristics of regions, the composition of nations;
• some non-governmental organizations do not have an option of official Internet resources in the state language;
• in all spheres of public relations, the request of consumers to request a document in the state language is not satisfied;
• The current legislation on the language requires amendments and additions to it, since the problem of the state language is not solved at the proper level.
Vision of language policy development
Modern language policy should be aimed at modernizing the Kazakh language on the basis of Latin graphics, further improving language culture, as well as developing the language capital of citizens, ensuring the full activity of the Kazakh language as the state language.
The development of language policy is based on the following strategic principles:
• a full-fledged activity is carried out to expand the use, improve the culture of the state language in all spheres of society;
• strengthening the normative base of the Kazakh language as the state language;
• strengthening the status of the Kazakh language as a language of interethnic communication;
• improving the use of the Kazakh language as a language of international communication;
• introduction of the practice of adopting the law in the Kazakh language;
• priority will be the further development of scientific and practical foundations of Kazakh terminology as the basis of the language of science and records management in the state language and implemented a set of measures;
• projects aimed at digitalization of Kazakh linguistics are being implemented;
• State support will be provided in the study of the state language and languages of ethnic groups and the organization of training courses;
• implementation of language reform on the basis of the new Latin alphabet;
• the level of proficiency in the Kazakh language in organizations of the state and non-state sector is monitored and improved;
• a requirement will be introduced requiring civil servants to speak the Kazakh language;
• a set of measures aimed at the development of the language capital of citizens is being implemented.
In this regard, the objectivity of the need to develop new conceptual solutions that meet the requirements of modernity is emphasized.
The main approaches to the implementation of language policy
1.
Language policy and demography
The share of the population using the Kazakh language in everyday life is different in the republic, which still requires systematic work in this direction.
To establish the language balance in the republic, for the purpose of competent writing of documents, proper management of office work, a schedule for the phased transfer of office work in state bodies into the state language in the context of regions is approved.
2.
Language and public service
The issue of including the criterion for the preparation of documents in the state language in the rating of calculating the effectiveness of civil servants will be considered.
During the reporting meeting, the heads of central state bodies, especially when visiting remote settlements, when delivering reports on dialogue platforms with the population in the state language, priority is given to the state language.
During the implementation of the Concept, requirements will be developed that oblige civil servants to speak the Kazakh language.
At the same time, the main working language of the public service will be the state language
3.
Non-governmental organizations
The question of the state language, which has become one of the most discussed, especially in places of service of the population (trade, food, maintenance, etc.), will be devoted to a new mechanism of solution.
The issues of launching the version of all electronic databases in the financial sector in the state language on 1C: Accounting will be worked out.
A hotline service will be created at local executive bodies to ensure public participation and take prompt measures to protect the purity of the language, prevent non-compliance with the norms of the literary language, violations of the lexical and grammatical rules of the Kazakh language in advertising, at public catering facilities.
An important issue is the development of a special law "On the State Language", which is a factor in strengthening the identity of Kazakh society, taking into account linguistic, ethno-demographic and political conditions.
This law provides ample opportunities for clearly establishing the status of the Kazakh language as the state language, determining the scope of its use, increasing the culture of use.
Work on the formation of prerequisites for the adoption of the law will be carried out in stages.
Improving the spelling rules of the Kazakh language
Work will be carried out to unify words with various variations, to unify the writing of complex words and complex names by making additions and changes to the current rules of spelling of the Kazakh language.
The electronic version of the current spelling and punctuation rules is provided for general availability.
It is envisaged that competence will be transferred to the authorized body in the field of language development for approval of the standard of the existing spelling rules by the regulatory legal act.
The main directions of transition to the Latin script
Language planning involves the adoption of a new Kazakh alphabet based on the Latin script and its spelling in accordance with the relevant regulatory documents.
When justifying the existing rules of spelling of the Kazakh language, additions and changes will be made to the new alphabet.
Scientific and methodological substantiation of spelling rules will be compiled.
In addition, a standard for setting the order of alphabetic characters on the keyboard will be approved.
Relevant versions of normative legal acts aimed at ensuring the availability of information in the Kazakh language, the Kazakh-language interface and Kazakh letters on products such as computers, keyboards, mobile phones and other technical means, on medical, production equipment, cash registers imported into the territory of Kazakhstan and manufactured in the country will be developed and adopted.
A step-by-step translation of the Kazakh alphabet to the Latin script will be carried out.
Gradually, educational organizations will be transferred to the Latin script.
Development of orthological means of the Kazakh language based on the alphabet based on the Latin script
Guides will be developed for different groups of consumers (schoolchildren, editors, broadcasters, politicians, trade managers, copywriters and speechwriters, academics, the public, etc., depending on the level of demand).
For the examination, discussion, approval of the results of reforms relating to the Kazakh script, it is envisaged to create an interdepartmental expert body - a spelling commission.
Regulation of onomastic space based on the Latin alphabet
After the approval of the Kazakh alphabet based on the Latin script, on its basis, the issue of standardization of names of the corresponding onomastic spatial physical and geographical objects, administrative-territorial units and their component parts in connection with their uniform writing will be considered.
Measures will be implemented to popularize new names, bring international names and city codes in line with Latin names (in particular, in the field of air and rail communication), ensure the correct writing of toponymic names on maps in cross-border regions.
Updated onomastic names will be introduced into widely used maps (Google, Yandex, 2gis), as well as navigation tools.
At the initial stage of the translation of the Kazakh alphabet into the Latin script (at least 5 years), the Kazakh alphabet on the modern Cyrillic script will be conducted in parallel with the alphabet on the Latin script.
The modern alphabet will gradually be phased out in accordance with the roadmap for the phased transfer of the Kazakh alphabet to the Latin script (action plan), the schedule for the phased transfer of educational organizations to the Latin script.
Improving the methodology of language teaching
It is important to improve the quality of language teaching using the capabilities of modern information technologies.
Measures to attract scientists in connection with improving the methodology, improving the methodological skills of teachers, exchanging experience, and stimulating will also be considered.
Of particular importance is the issue of improving the qualifications of methodologists and teachers of educational centers teaching the state language of citizens working in various spheres of society.
The developers of the project see the following ways to increase the effectiveness of the methodology of teaching the Kazakh language
1.
Formation of a special general base of systematization of scientific and educational-methodical works on the methodology of teaching the Kazakh language.
2.
Organization of mass open online courses "Kazakh tili".

The system of teaching the Kazakh language
A system of language teaching will be developed, starting with school-age children and ending with adults.
The system includes two directions.
First, a general state system of language teaching is being created.
Secondly, in accordance with this system, curricula and educational and methodological complexes of new content will be formed, as well as modern teaching technologies, and the scientific and methodological potential of teachers and teachers will be increased by improving the quality of language teaching from schoolchildren to adults.
The use of a voucher when teaching citizens the state language
According to the results of the study, 1,025,270 (8.1%) of adult respondents do not speak the state language (2.5% do not speak Kazakh at all, 5.6% understand some words).
For this category of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan through the project "Language Voucher" favorable conditions will be created for free study of the Kazakh language.
The voucher will be used as an effective means of education, professional development, retraining courses.
Improving the methods of teaching the language of citizens with special needs
A curriculum and programmes will be developed to improve language teaching methods for persons with special educational needs.
It provides for the training of trainers, the training of teachers with special qualifications, teaching citizens with hearing and speech impairments.
The issues of developing materials for the training of sign language interpreters in the Kazakh language, the release of teaching aids for citizens with special educational needs, created by a special tactile point relief font, large font and Braille, including taking into account recognized international practices, will be discussed.
It is planned to create a service for voicing printed texts in the Kazakh language.
Language Training Centers
For free education of the adult population, Kazakh, Russian and English language courses will continue to work in state language training centers.
In order to increase the status and wages of teachers of language training centers, amendments will be made to the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 31, 2015 No. 1193 "On the system of remuneration of civil servants, employees of organizations maintained at the expense of the state budget, employees of state-owned enterprises" (by increasing the level of the correction coefficient).
Expanding the scope of the state language
Work will continue on clarifying the requirements of the legislation on languages, providing methodological assistance to business entities in terms of placing requisites and visual information.
To expand the scope of application of the state language, to provide support to individuals and legal entities in conducting their activities (naming objects), it is planned to create a dictionary of names in the Kazakh language (the base "korneki.kz").
Enhancing the language culture of society
To comply with the language norm, it is necessary to unify language means, orthoepic, orthographic, lexico-phraseological, grammatical (morphological, syntactic, word-formation) norms.
The availability of language tools developed in this direction to the society will be considered.
Through social networks, published materials related to language in social networks will be monitored, work will be carried out to disseminate quotes from famous people, public figures, bloggers, people who actively use the social network, increase their recognition by the population, motivate them to work for the benefit of society, and provide support.
Work will be carried out on the publication of industry dictionaries, collections of sayings, proverbs, children's books, works of fiction, foreign prose in the Kazakh language.

Specialists with the formed competence of the language of science will be trained, quantitative and qualitative indicators of scientific works in the state language will be increased, foreign scientific works in the Kazakh language will be available and terms will be unified.
Increasing the share of content in the Kazakh language
The development of high-quality products in the Kazakh language, able to meet the demand of children and adolescents of preschool and school age, where the level of digital literacy is growing every year, will allow in the future to solve the problem of lack of mastering the Kazakh language by young people.
Given that society needs separate group, situational games in the Kazakh language, focused on virtual-cognitive, intellectual, didactic, entertaining, the state should provide maximum support.
This will give a new impetus to the transition of the language of IT-technologies to the Kazakh language.
Group games in the Kazakh language will be developed based on popular game scenarios.
To ensure the availability of the interface of foreign games in the Kazakh language, communication with developers is established and experience is exchanged.

Secretary of Al-Khalidin Complex for Sunrise: There is no nation in the world that exaggerates its language except Arabs
Bassent Sharqawi
Published on: Tuesday 7 December 2021 - 11: 10 AM | Last updated on Tuesday 7 December 2021 - 11: 10 AM
We call the series Arabic.
Foreign languages dominate the population.
We don ’ t fight learning foreign languages, we insist on it.
* Major violations in advertising and we will impose the writing of signs in Arabic
* The law provides a grace period for correcting the situation
* The law preserves the national and Arab identity
"We will reverse the deterioration in the media.
And we see the wrong headlines of major newspapers.
* Not all Axis ads should be in either colloquial or English
The House of Representatives is preparing to ratify the “Protection of the Arabic Language ” bill submitted by the Arabic Language Academy (Al-Khaldeen Complex) in Cairo, in a move to preserve the prestige of the Arabic language and national identity.
Among the most important provisions of the law is the obligation of shop owners to change the signs of their shops to Arabic to avoid paying a fine, and the law requires government agencies to conduct an Arabic language test for applicants to fill government jobs.
"Al-Shorouk" interviewed Dr. Abdel Hamid Madkour, Secretary General of the Arabic Language Academy in Cairo (Al-Khaldeen Complex), to identify the most important objectives guaranteed by the draft law to protect the Arabic language and see its application in the fields of education, advertising and media in general.
Madkour says that this is not the first time that a law has been issued to protect the Arabic language, as previous but partial attempts to control road signs were made in 1957 and then in 2008 a law was issued through the People ’ s Assembly, which also relates to signs and the Council ’ s supervision of the implementation of this law.
“The aims of the law. ”
Gross violations in the media and advertising
Madkour pointed out that three years ago, the Academy considered submitting a draft law on controlling the ways of using the language, and seeks to achieve a number of objectives, including instilling the value of belonging to the Arabic language, because of the factors it faces to reduce them, especially among students of foreign languages and foreign universities where study is imposed in foreign languages other than Arabic.
He continued: "Everything is taught in Arabic except the study of the Arabic language, and it is not fulfilling his right, instead of studying history in a foreign language, which makes the student know the history of Western nations more than the history of his country."
The second goal among the objectives of the law is to preserve the national and Arab identity between the land, language, place, and religion in some cases, explaining that the Arabic language is the one that connects the people to their Arab homeland, and without it or if abandoned, the Arab contract will break down and turn into separate tribes as in the Old Testament.
Madkour added that the language must be controlled in the areas of education, and in life in general such as international conferences and forums: "There is no nation in the world that excels in its language except Arabs unfortunately, and the most prominent example is when America stipulated on Japan to speak English after the launch of nuclear bombs on it preferred the Emperor of Japan to die for speaking his people other than Japanese."
He pointed out that the third goal of the law is to correct the deterioration that is happening in the media and advertising together, expressing: "We see some major newspaper headlines with linguistic errors and this is not true, as well as administrative speeches and official statements, in addition to the appearance of many in the media who do not speak ordinary Arabic and even unqualified for decent speech.
Madkour pointed out that there are large excesses in the field of advertising in Egypt, where he stressed the need to have shops and ads in Arabic, and if the advertisement is for a foreign company, it must write its address in the language you love but under the title of the Arabic language large, and in a smaller pint and this is what the law calls for and in line with major companies that have a history and fear for their brand.
He continued: "Unfortunately, it is not right that all the ads on the axis of the city of the sixth of October are either colloquial or in English, and very little of them in Arabic and maybe it happened by chance, and sometimes I read in some newspapers ads in full English and here I wonder who addressed this announcement and we in an Arab country?!"
He says that the law requires the use of the Arabic language easy series and not the language of dictionaries, and that foreign languages should not be imposed on the people, expressing: "The people are not charged with speaking English instead of Arabic until we write ads in English or go to the bank or national airports to extract papers in English. It requires a linguistic auditor in each institution to check and correct, so that the language is written correctly.
As for scientific forums and research, Madkour said: "The service of translations must be provided to the members of the community, so that the participants understand what is being said, because the imposition of a specific language to speak is an occupation of minds and a domination of the people."
He pointed out that the law gives grace periods to amend and correct all the aforementioned situations, and then take some due measures.
"We do not fight the learning of foreign languages, but we demand and insist on learning and taking care of them to benefit from foreign scientific knowledge preceded by all, and to bring together the Hassanis to learn Arabic and foreign together, and that the Arabic language is the basic in teaching subjects that there is no scientific need to teach in English, such as geography and history.
Madkour called for attention to translations of other languages into Arabic to increase the sum of knowledge and to find those who want to learn references that help them to understand information, as well as courses must be studied in Arabic and Arabic, to increase understanding and achievement.
He stressed that the law does not fight speaking the colloquial dialect used among the people in public life: "We cannot go to the vegetable seller and talk to him in classical Arabic, which brings us into a wave of sarcasm similar to what was embodied in the old Arab cinema films and some plays, but also some of our homes should not turn to speak only English or schools oblige students to speak a foreign language."
"There are countries that have preceded us in protecting the Arabic language.
Dr. Madkour concluded: “We must cherish our Arabic language because the language is the identity of the human being, the English citizen cherishes his English and the German cherishes German, even the Frenchman when a passerby asks him in English does not respond because he wants everyone to speak French inside his homeland. ”
He continued: "Egypt must be a leader in the field of protecting the Arabic language, which was preceded by some Arab countries, because it is the most scientific and literary country and has a great position and must lead all Arabs in protecting their language, which we hope to achieve by the new law."

Indigenous languages not enjoying parity at state departments

English still dominant at the expense of other tongues

David Mosoma chairperson of CRL Rights Commission.

The usage of indigenous languages, especially in government departments, is still not equitable after 27 years since SA declared them as official languages.

This was revealed by an investigation conducted by the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission) on marginalised languages and the need to elevate them. It tabled its report yesterday at its offices in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

The findings show that even though government departments have adopted two or three official languages as per Language Act, English was still predominantly used at the expense of other languages. The investigation further found that the obstacles for all official languages to enjoy parity of esteem were caused by lack of budget and lack of skilled personnel.

The investigation included 16 organs of state which were randomly picked and invited to share what they are doing regarding the promotion and equitable use of all official languages. Chairperson of the commission, Prof David Luka Mosoma, said the purpose of the investigation was to establish the extent of the equal use and status of the official languages by government departments.

“Since the constitution affirms that these languages should be given their due and constitutional status, we had to do this investigation to gauge how far we are. We wanted to assess the positive measures that departments are employing to elevate the status and advanced the use of these languages. These hearings had to investigate and ascertain the measures [if any] that are in place to advance the equal treatment of all the South African official languages.

“The investigation was to assess the current efforts and future plans being followed by departments to regulate, monitor and elevate the use of all the official languages among other things for teaching, research, science, technology, commerce as well as to be languages of record.”

In its recommendations, CLR Rights Commission stated that all government departments, enterprises and entities should establish functional language service centres. It further called on the department of higher education to identify a pool of teachers who will teach mathematics, science and technology in their mother tongues.

“We encourage the department of higher education and training to subsidise institutions of higher learning to elevate, prioritise and promote official languages to become languages of record, teaching, research, science and technology.”

Commenting is subject to our house rules.

The lack of budget and skilled personnel hinders language parity, and the CRL Rights Commission recommends language service centers.
