Topic: Sepedi


  
  Science through Sepedi
The reason for this was, among others, to indicate that Sepedi had the terminology necessary to serve as a vehicle for conveying the content of the subject field.
If the results of those who wrote the Sepedi paper are significantly better, a deliberate attempt should be made to convince students, parents and school principals that mother-tongue teaching of content subjects is a step forward and not backward.
The standardisation of Science terms in Sepedi should be encouraged and accelerated in the meantime by recording existing terms in term banks, publishing them in the form of bi- or multilingual term lists and dictionaries, distributing these in schools, and also requesting feedback from all stakeholders: pupils, parents, teachers and principals.

 Journal for Language Teaching, December 1999
The development of Sepedi as a written language extends over a period of 100 years, from 1870 to 1967 when the current orthography was finalised.
In the development of Sepedi as a written language a clear distinction must be drawn between the period before October 1929 and the period thereafter.
In 1972 a revised Sepedi orthography was published, and the main task of the Sepedi Language Committee thereafter was to concentrate on spelling.

 Sepedi as Official Language, Gas & Electricity Supply, Devolvement of Functions for Animal& Meat Safety, Housing, ...
Sepedi was spoken by the Pedi people of that region, who represented only a small percentage, and there had been some resistance from the non-Pedi people that  this language was being taught in their schools.
If Sepedi were to be removed from its status as an official language, many people would be happy.
He asked if Mr Mokoena was describing Sepedi as being a dialect of Sesotho Sa Leboa, or if it was an entirely new language which had branched off from the main language (similar to the way Afrikaans had grown from Dutch).

The dominant dialect is Sepedi, the language spoken by the Bapedi.

Sepedi is merely a dialect of Sesotho sa Leboa and as a language does not represent the whole of the Northern Sotho speaking populace.

 African Languages - Sesotho sa Leboa (Northern Sotho)
There is a fairly large amount of mutual intelligibility between all three; a speaker of one of the three languages is usually able to understand most of what a speaker of one of the others is saying.
Historically, what is now the official language has been based primarily on Sepedi, as the missionaries who developed the orthography mainly had contact with the Bapedi.
The name "Sepedi" thus came to be regarded, somewhat incorrectly, as being synonymous with "Sesotho sa Leboa", and further confusion arose when the constitution cited "Sepedi" as being the official language.

But in the final constitution of 1996 it was changed to Sepedi, which as we saw previously is in fact incorrect.
Whatever the cause may have been the confusion created in fact goes against the spirit of the constitution which urges the promotion of marginalised African languages yet itself has created a situation of marginalisation.
We haven't yet mentioned the fact that many Sesotho sa Leboa speakers are offended when you call them Sepedi speakers as they do not speak Sepedi and are not Bapedi.

To the Bapedi Ramaila is a pioneer; he was the first author in Sepedi and encouraged his people to educate themselves.
This led to a change of direction in Sepedi literature that could to a great degree be attributed to Matsepe's writing.

 First Sepedi Speech Recognition system developed at the CSIR
The first Sepedi Speech Recognition system was recently developed at the CSIR, following from an intensive two day workshop held with representatives from the University of the North and Etienne Barnard and Marelie Davel from the HLT Research Group of the Information Society Technologies Centre (ISTC) of the CSIR.
The initial Sepedi recognition system will form the basis for further research to be conducted at the University of the North, which will aim to improve the recognition accuracy of the initial baseline system.
The ISTC and the University of the North will continue to collaborate on this project, with the aim to establish a solid body of knowledge with regard to the fast and effective development of speech recognition systems for South Africa's many languages.
