“Equally important, concepts not given in the language (family of languages) of our people are inadequate to explain our thoughts as an Afrikan people. People who study Afrikan language know this. Language is not only denotative, but also connotative. For Afrikans, connotations carry ourstorical, spiritual weight. A people’s language is their way of describing the world through their evolved way of thinking. Afrikans and Europeans see the world through different eyes. We are different people. Only an Afrikan language can best describe what we know and see.”
