Abstract
This paper aims to explore procedures to be taken to harmonise languages’ orthography without destroying or threatening the identity of the languages involved, that is, Siphuthi and siSwati. It also determines the principle to follow for the invention of the new graphemes of the harmonised orthographies.Inter-governmentalism theory andZipf’s Principle of Least Effort framed this paper. The findings of this paper reveal that it is possible to harmonise the orthography of mutually intelligible languages; therefore, it is possible to harmonise the orthography of Tekela languages. The results also suggesttwo steps in unification of orthography harmonisation. The first procedure is the evaluation of the linguistic features such as phonological and morphological features. The last step is the consideration of the economy of speech soundto avoid the imbalance or dominance in orthographic invention.
