<div style="FONT:10pt Tahoma;MARGIN:4px 4px 1px">And it also does not mention that the exclusion of Afrikaans is probably unconstitutional - the language treatment norms of the SA constitution requires and add-on (to English and Afrikaans) approach, not removing Afrikaans. Peace in South African was established in part on this principle in 1993.<span style="WORD-WRAP:normal;FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-WEIGHT:normal">

I'm basing this assumption on the fact that translation companies in S.A. are known to use this approach: First translate from English (or Afrikaans) to one Nguni language and one Sotho-Tswana language, and then from the latter two to others. (English would of course be translated directly into Afrikaans, and vice-versa.)<br><br>Don Osborn<br><br><br>Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Harold Schiffman <<a href="mailto:hfsclpp@gmail.com" target="_blank">hfsclpp@gmail.com</a>><br>Sender: <a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list-bounces@groups.sas.upenn.edu" target="_blank">lgpolicy-list-bounces@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br>Date: Sat, 30 May 2015 10:17:12 <br>To: lp<<a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu" target="_blank">lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a>><br>Reply-To: Language Policy List <<a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu" target="_blank">lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a>><br>Subject: [lg policy] South Africa: Health department wants to go trilingual<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>This message came to you by way of the lgpolicy-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu" target="_blank">lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br>To manage your subscription unsubscribe, or arrange digest format: <a href="https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/lgpolicy-list" target="_blank">https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/lgpolicy-list</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>This message came to you by way of the lgpolicy-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu" target="_blank">lgpolicy-list@groups.sas.upenn.edu</a><br>To manage your subscription unsubscribe, or arrange digest format: <a href="https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/lgpolicy-list" target="_blank">https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/lgpolicy-list</a><br><div align="left"><hr><p><font color="black" face="arial,helvetica" size="1">University of the Free State:<br>
