Setswana A language on its deathbed? (Part 2)

Apart from incidents of massive natural disasters and wars that result in displacement of communities, languages do not normally suffer sudden death.

This is often a long process. For us, it has already started with some children no longer learning Setswana because of their preference for English. In time more and more children might do the same until a few children can speak Setswana. By the time we wake up, we may find that the youngest Setswana speaking people are the oldest.
