This dictionary is a product of the Setswana National Lexicography Unit, one of nine indigenous language National Lexicography Units Constitutionally and Legislatively mandated to develop dictionaries and other material, on behalf of the South African Government, in order that all Government Departments and Agencies, public and private schools, tertiary institutions and libraries have the resources needed to fulfil their obligations to all our county's indigenous languages.
It provides an important reference and learning tool for indigenous language mother tongue speakers who are or who will use English as the language of learning, while supporting learners learning an indigenous language as an additional language. The use of dictionaries improves literacy and multilingualism by building vocabulary, developing basic reference skills, improving spelling and developing reading with understanding. Our range of primary, secondary and reference dictionaries are essential teaching and learning tools.
By purchasing this dictionary, you are making a direct contribution in support of the Lexicography Units. This will ensure the localisation of indigenous language and indigenous language - English dictionary development within the South African provinces that are home to the most speakers of the language concerned. Your support will allow us to develop the professional lexicographical competence and skills amongst indigenous languages speakers, allowing them to continue this work and ensure the languages are developed and grown for our and future generations.
