Khoisan, though highly regarded, is NOT recognized as an official language of mzanzi*
unfathomable- ǃke e꞉ ǀxarra ǁke

how this came to be:
this piece was never about the Khoisan until it unexpectedly was — the curation then happened around the concept of recognition and, more specifically, the act of rejecting original expression leading to the core purpose of the piece, which is for the reader to unravel and self-conclude.
prompts:
1. writers premise:
language is a physical, mental, and spiritual expression of human survival. if rejected, not by its speakers but by the constitution safeguarding the values of a republic seemingly rooted in its naturalness, what message is that sending or reinforcing?
2. writers first thought:
sending: there is fear of uniqueness
reinforcing: a form of unworthiness
3. bridge thought:
frameworks are man-made. by who? muppeteers? what is the root cause of this fear? mastermuppet power retention or ancient discomfort?
4. transcendence thought:
as fear energy imposes itself onto unique energy, uniqueness (due to its awareness of being unique) rejects it, stopping the eradication process, but then, unfortunately, still reinforces the fear with its very own fear energy. uniqueness survives, but the subtle non-sensical fear-mongering continues.
just by recognizing Khoisan as an official mzanzi language, we recircuit originality — not only in this home republic but also for our soiled neighbours and opposing continents.
5. thought boosters:
“Archaeological evidence suggests that the Khoisan people appeared in southern Africa some 60,000 years ago. Thus, the Khoisan languages may well be among the most ancient of all human tongues. Even though the Khoisan languages share similarities in their sound systems, their grammatical systems are quite unique.”
NOT subtle — why incorporate the magic of an unofficial language on the parapet of an official insignia? #poomoji from TheWho?
6. self-concluding thought [insert yours]:
on a language grid, the rainbow nation’s complex singularity can exponentially heal a global wound of generational unworthiness — uniting people of diversity — through the most straightforward act of recognition.
why do you think Khoisan is not recognized as an official language of mzanzi?
Further — why do you think The Cape of Good Hope is a blood-soaked gang-heavy capital?
