ABSTRACT
Effective communication is required for Afrasians with such diverse backgrounds to develop a sense of community. African intellectuals and engineers utilise English, French, Portuguese, or Arabic. The Ghanaian-born linguist Kwesi Prah called for the creation of pan-African languages. African society is not a Tower of Babel where countless tribes are at odds with each other, shouting in their own languages that they do not mutually understand. There is an approach to mathematics education called ethnomathematics, which entails paying deep respect to indigenous ways of counting, measuring, and logical thinking so that children can learn the subject in concord with the contexts of their everyday life. Efforts should be made to polish local languages so that they can be used as languages of reasoning. The language of affection is important in and of itself, and it is also necessary to open children’s minds seamlessly to the wider space of scientific knowledge.
