Page 5 � Language: Keeping Acholi Alive

Topic: Why Our Language Matters


Date: Monday, 6th May

This class felt personal. We talked about local languages, and how every time we
speak them, we protect something bigger than just words.

For me, that language is Acholi.


When I say �Apwoyo�, I�m not just saying �thank you.� I�m passing down a sound, a
rhythm, a piece of identity that connects me to my roots, my people, and my
ancestors.

We were asked:

If our generation doesn�t speak it, who will?

A few ways to help keep Acholi alive:

Use it at home, even if just for small phrases.

Teach your friends one word a week � like �lamal� (light) or �pit� (strong).

Record stories, proverbs, or songs from elders before they�re lost.

Make short content online in Acholi � reels, quotes, captions.

?? What stood out to me:

Language carries values, not just vocab.

Losing a language is like losing a piece of history.

We don�t need permission to be proud of our language.

So from today, I�m choosing to speak more Acholi. Not just because it�s �ours,� but
because every word is a thread in the fabric of our culture. And that�s worth
keeping alive.
