  • I introduce a discussion about the importance of coining new words for endangered languages. Coining new words is one of the many tasks that must be done to revitalize endangered languages. I propose a method for automating the process of coining new words and evaluate the method in the Quechua language. The method starts by collecting a list of English words, then translating these words into several other languages, generating a list for each language, and performing IPA notation of all lists; finally, a rule-based algorithm identifies words that match the phonotactics of the target language. The method can propose thousands of words as neologisms in the target language.

  • Summary

    The chapter further posits that the current language practices need to be addressed and the prestige of African languages in the South African banking industry needs to be revitalised as a matter of urgency. The chapter engages in a systematic literature review and qualitative methods, that is, the questionnaire, interviews and observations in the banks. These methods will assist the researcher to be able to analyse the multilingual language policies and their relationship with the everyday use of African languages in the South African banks.
