Abstract
I spent last Friday walking through colourful displays of folk tales, proverbs and children’s books set up in the quadrangle at Makerere University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences. When the main hall filled for the formal ceremony, His Majesty William Gabula Nadiope IV launched Lusoga as a course and reminded us that the day’s theme, “Languages Matter: Harnessing technology to document and develop Uganda’s indigenous languages”, was no mere slogan.
