This Special Issue of the South African Joumal of African Languages is dedicated to Human Language Technologies (HLT), and is the first of its kind in the history of the joumal. It provides an overview of some of the current activities in the field in South Africa. This publication results from an initiative of the ALAS A Special Interest Group (SIG) for Language and Speech Technology Development (http://www.alasa.org.za/sig). The SIG was responsible for organizing a "Special Track for HLT" that ran in parallel with the first two days of the 13th Intemational Conference of the African Language Association of Southem Africa. This conference was held at the University of Johannesburg in July 2005.
