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 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.[7]

PanSALB structures include: the Provincial Language Committees (PLCs), the National Language Bodies (NLBs), and the National Lexicography Units (NLUs).[1]
