The World in Words 30: One Bolivian language goes digital, another works in road rage situations, and Zulu hip hop
We kick off with a look at how open source software is helping Bolivia’s Aymara language enter the digital age. Then, a nice turn of phrase in another Bolivian language, Quechua, as used by someone’s grandmother in moments of road rage. Finally, two South African hits – a proposed pledge of allegiance that has everyone in a tizzy, and a short history of South African hip hop.
