The Pan South African Language Board (Afrikaans: Pan-Suid-Afrikaanse Taalraad, abbreviated PanSALB) is an organisation in South Africa established to promote multilingualism, to develop and preserve the 12 official languages, and to protect language rights in South Africa.
The Board was established in terms of Act 59 of 1995 by the Parliament of South Africa.
[6] In addition to the 12 official languages of South Africa, PanSALB also strives to create conditions for the use and development of all languages used by communities in the country including the Khoe, San, and Nama.
[8] The project is abbreviated as SWiP: combining the names of SADiLAR, Wikipedia, and PanSALB.
Participants are introduced to Wikipedia and attend authorship training on how to add content, citations, and photographs.
