The development and maintenance of a language depends on its documentation and description. Documenting and describing a language enables that language to be preserved; even if its speakers can die,  the language would still exist in its written form. It is a well-known fact that many languages of the world are in danger of extinction. These languages are mainly threatened by the major languages which co-exist with them in Botswana, particularly the national language, Setswana. A project such as this one serves as a start-off point in the documentation of one of the world’s endangered languages. Secondly, if a language is described and written, this might lead to a better appreciation of the language by its speakers and therefore to improved attitudes towards such a language. Once the study is completed, a grammar book and a dictionary will be published and these will be very handy in primary schools. Furthermore, the books will be very handy to the community since they will use it to revive their language. Primary school teachers will also benefit from the book and the dictionary because they will always refer to these when preparing their lessons.
