“We need to adopt a language policy of inclusion, which means that we recognize Portuguese, which is an Angolan language of European origin, as Angolan languages, we have Angolan languages ​​of African origin, we have Angolan sign language and the Braille system,” said today the director of the National Language Institute of Angola (ILNA), João Pedro.

" Portuguese is the only official language in Angola"

The legislative package on Angolan languages, which establishes “equity” between the languages ​​spoken in the country, was drawn up by the Ministry of Culture and is now before the Council of Ministers.

According to the person in charge, today the Portuguese language and the Angolan languages ​​coexist in the same space and the important thing is that "a linguistic policy is adopted that takes into account the presence of all these languages, that there are no hegemonic languages”.

“It is important that they all participate in the development of Angola,” he stressed.
