Les langues africaines dans la nouvelle francophonie (African Languages in the New French-Speaking Community).
Djite, Paulin G.
Language Problems and Language Planning, v14 n1 p20-32 Spr 1990
It is argued that in the states of Francophone Africa, French is not always the language of the masses and that in light of sociolinguistic data, choice, or actual usage, new language policy accentuating national idioms is more viable than exclusive promotion of French. (38 references) (Author/MSE)
