Description: This chapter aims to analyse the 2017 resolution to adopt English as the monolingual language of record that affects high courts in South Africa with reference to the constitutional language framework. We investigate whether the legislative framework enables the Chief Justice to change the language of record; and how a monolingual language of record affects the official status of languages other than English. In this judicial context, the language of record is taken to mean the language, which is used officially to litigate in courts of law, the language in which the judicial process is conducted, the language in which the proceedings are recorded, as well as that of written judgments.
