We are on a mission to document and preserve all native languages in Africa and help many people learn these languages while at it.
Join the movement by adding definitions or Tongue Twisters (Twista) in your mother tongue.
Your name will forever be carved in history as the person who kept that word alive.
Hundreds of native speakers are adding definitions every single day.
Comprehensive instructions on how to contribute are available in the Help Page
