A primer on getting neologisms from foreign languages to under-resourced languages
This addresses the issue of limited vocabulary for speakers of under-resourced languages, though it appears incremental by shifting the source of neologisms.
The paper tackles the problem of lexicon expansion in under-resourced languages by proposing to introduce neologisms from any foreign language that phonetically resemble native words, rather than relying solely on imposed official languages.
Mainly due to lack of support, most under-resourced languages have a reduced lexicon in most realms and domains of increasing importance, then their speakers need to significantly augment it. Although neologisms should arise from the languages themselves, external sources are widely accepted. However, we dispute the "common sense" of using the imposed official languages, which are highly probably a legacy of colonialism, as the only source, and we propose to introduce neologisms from any language as long as these neologisms "sound like" native words of the target languages.
