Uganda needs a national lingua franca to link all citizens to overcome the present situation. Language and power interconnect; therefore, power is the principal factor in using the language as an official language among thirty-six indigenous languages. Another critical basic need is to educate the population with their indigenous bits of knowledge. If their official language and medium of instruction differ from their indigenous language to some extent, there are Western and indigenous knowledge conflicts in Ugandan education (Breidlid, 2013). Also, participation in social activity depends on the participatory language; however, most Ugandans cannot do because of linguistic barriers such as parliamentary debates and media coverage in such a way. Uganda's linguistic identity is challenging due to many languages and ethnic groups, so language is a powerful determinant of social identity. In this short article, the investigator distillates linguistic problems related to power politics, education, participation, identity dispute, and how to overcome identity issues.
