I'm so bummed to hear about kids getting punished for speaking their native tongue 
. It's like, who gets to decide what language is 'better'? And schools are always trying to cram English down our throats anyway... I mean, I get it, it's useful and all, but why can't we learn both? 
The fact that Sesotho is dominant just means it's been the one getting prioritized, not SiPhuthi. And poverty and limited resources are no joke either - how do people even have time to preserve a language when they're struggling to survive?

like a real-life game of language survival! i feel bad for those kids in school who get punished 4 speakin their native tongue, that's just sad 
. but its awesome that the researchers are helpin out and makin all these vids & dictionaries. like what's next? gonna create an siPhuthi app or somethin'? lol 
But for real though, I feel bad for those kids who get punished at school just because they're speaking their native language. It's like, shouldn't they be proud of where they come from? 
And poverty and limited access to education... it's no wonder they need all the help they can get.
And teaching kids in their native languages is a great idea - it's so important for their brains to develop properly.
Still, we gotta make room for all these different languages and cultures. It's not gonna be easy, but I think it's doable. We just gotta keep pushing forward and supporting each other.
