African Stream (@african_stream): "DECLINE OF FRENCH LANGUAGE IN EX-COLONIESMali has become the first former French colony outside of North Africa to abandon French as its official language. As part of its recently approved new constitution, the language has been downgraded from ‘official’ to ‘working’ status. The country joins Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria and Tunisia in having demoted the language of their former occupier.Mali now has 13 official languages, all indigenous: Bamanankan (Bambara), Bobo, Bozo, Dogon, Fula, Hassaniya, Kassonke, Maninke, Minyanka, Senufo, Songhay, Soninke and Tamasheq.So far, only Algeria has taken the further step of quitting La Francophonie (L’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie). This international body embraces countries with a large number of French speakers - and promotes the language on the basis of shared cultural influences and political interests. Given Bamako’s staunch anti-French tendencies of late, will it join Algiers in snubbing this symbol of French colonial sway too? Let us know whether you think it should.#Mali #French" | La Contre-Voie - nitter
