Call for local languages to be prioritised 

Research indicates that industrialised countries were able to reach their level of development because they prioritize their local languages. 

A lecturer in English at the University of Ghana, Legon, Professor Kofi Anyidoho who affirmed this said, for the country to achieve its desired development, there is the need to pay attention to local languages. 

Professor Anyidoho however indicated that his call should not be misconstrued that the country should do away with English but that the local language must be used side by side the English Language. 

Professor Anyidoho was speaking at the launch of a book on the Study of Ewe Phonology For Beginners in Accra.
