- Young people in urban areas of Ivory Coast are rejecting their country's colonial past by making the French language their own. Nouchi emerged in the 1970s and is one of the world's newest languages.

This is like in eastern Canada where the Acadians have created a language that isn't English or French but instead a mixture called Chiac.
I can't tell the difference. It still sounds french somehow. But kudos for what they are trying to do.
do yall understand how creole languages work? Look at hatian for a fine example, same idea here. French is the foundation still.
YOU PEOPLE NEED TO PUSH AWAY WESTERN INFLUENCE. THIS VIDEO SHOWS HOW WRONG THIS GENERATION IS GOING IN AFRICA. INSTEAD OF YOU PEOPLE TO EMBRACE YOUR BANTU GOD GIVEN TRADITIONAL LANGUAGES AND ROOTS. You people should first kick France out of Africa.
in this interview they do speak French. However some parts they sing or rap in Nouchi. While it has French loan words, it is a separate language. It for example also has loan words from Dioula, Baoulé and Bété.
They spoke in French with the exception of the guy's rap and the anthem the lady sang at the end of the video.
That's what happened to Latin. Roughly explaining Latin from Spain became Spanish, Latin from Italy Italian, Latin from France French... I'm not against this language, but I hope this doesn't turn into another tower of babel.

I would love to visit Ivory Coast. I hope more movies from there are made. They have to be in French
awesome i'am from Ivory coast
Ah yeeeah I think "NOUCHI", its like in nigeria with their "PIGIN". In my opinion Its quite Similar. Its also a way of communication of people who did not have acess to EDUCATION in NIGERIA

It is not about language, it is about education.
Well they will basically be a french region by 2100 if they continue spreading this language
I like the idea of Nouchi but unfortunately it is not Authentically African. It really just sounds like an africanized French creole like we Haitians have. I support thier independent mindset however. It's a great start.
I beg to differ I think it’s the other way around west africans have always had a standard speech and a traditional speech the one which they talk in their village and one standard this just translated across the Atlantic so I don’t think that concept is Haitian in origin if you guys come from us...however I agree with you that there are many parallels and similarities if it becomes standard we should work with you guys to help us by saying stuff like that is not true because this only happens in West Africa . People in Congo and Tanzania and South Africa they either speak Their Colonial Language or the African language there is never a Creole mixing . That’s how unique we are alot of Haitians too are of kwa origin so the phonology is very similar.

@@Passportbros8 FACTS💯
@@MonDieuMaCauseMonEpee much appreciated my Haitian brother.
Lol I’m Haitian and it sound like Haitian Creole to my ears except I couldn’t understand bother they was saying
I support the idea that this people are now waking up to reject a language that was introduced during colonial rule!
I have the exact opposite view. They're ironically disconnecting themselves the rest of the world by rejecting French ENTIRELY. Not having the same grammar, same vocabulary, and making it harder learn something like English or Spanish in the vocabulary or grammar side.
Their country needs to STOP being more corrupt than it already is. I'm not againist helping, but this creole is practically asking for less intelligablity with the rest of the world.
@@MaoRatto Should be Japanese or something then, they never raped Africa. Not from a shithole country like France, thats currently being taken over by migrants.
Yeah sure, whole Latin America and Brazil should reject Spanish and Portuguese. Oh wait all Indian American should reject English
Woke cancel culture non sense
Informative ❤️
Well,we can see portuguese's history to find the answer

Cool! :)
More young Africans need to start pushing away western colonial influences and embrace thier African identity.
i wonder if you share the same sentiment with ALL of "latin" america and Caribbean since spanish is the language of colonization, would you say the same thing to all those countries and people or nah? YOURE SPEAKING ENGLISH WHY ARENT YOU SPEAKING AN ANCIENT AFRICAN LANGUAGE YOURSELF? Hypocrite. French is a part of africa at this point, it is what it is and if they wanna use it thats their choice AND THAT DOESNT MAKE THEM LESS AFRICAN! Theyre doing similar to what hatians did, and i personally find that beautiful, making it their own. Yet haters like you exist, criticizing them while youre speaking a "language of colonization" yourself.
@@jonathansoko1085 most pro-“blacks” don’t mean half the bs they say out of their mouth. It’s just good words and lip service. You are correct, no one should speak Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, French, English, Spanish, Danish, Swedish and Portuguese if they’re truly worried about learning a known colonial language.
@@ThisisFerrariKhan Yeah alot of people are not consistent. I've seen some of my puerto rican friends spit on pictures of colombus and curse him.... While speaking spanish, if they wanna act that way its fine but be consistent, either drop every influence or just stop.
@@jonathansoko1085 I saw that a lot growing up. I grew up in a mixed household, Puerto Rican family and I had a Mexican best friend until I moved from the US. He was super confused as well, he wanted to be like his “white friends” and went to Mass and wore American Eagle and everything until they clowned him for being Mexican. He moved back to Mexico after he lost his football scholarship. ⚽️ Smh.
True.
It's still al5french I can understand them as a native French speaker
Equatorial guinea as well for Spanish..
Why are the buildings painted black?
It's rather a dialect then; isn't it?
Imagine if Ghana and Ivory Coast unified and became one country? The people are mostly one they could create a mutually intelligible language look at what Malaysia and Indonesia did.
In a way west and central Africa will have language and national identities similar to Latin america
Never going to happen. Speaking as a Ghanaian for Tribal ,Language and Political reasons. More chance of Ghana uniting with Nigeria or Togo.
You know, this language is quite similar to French.
Ha ha No! This is Nouchi! old Ivorian recipe.
How can i learn Nouchi?
by hanging out in Abidjan's streets lol
Instead of saying "Ho Ho Ho" say "Ho ho ho ki"
Kill french grammar, speak like a 4 yo: you speak nouchi
@@Tsahalal stfu colonizer
Nouchi mobi
Naw , our local languages will never die . For instance in the north they are inextricably linked to religion even in Abidjan . Most mosque bave their sermons in the local languages. For those languages to die religion must disappear which is impossible. In the west south and east they are used for traditional ceremonies and no French . Trust me Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 is different and blessed. Salut à tous les babinautes ❤❤❤
🌹 joy bangla 🇧🇩 joy bangabandhu 🌹
That’s colonization 🤦🏾♀️
Monsieur, excusez-moi. Pouvez-vous parler français, s'il vous plaît. Je ne comprends pas Nouchi.....
could have at least given the dude some music that was actually on beat with what he was rapping. making the dude look bad.
So is Nouchi broken French?
Very much just BAD...
Yes like the English they speak in Ghana or Nogeria. But when they decide to speak standard French, they use very formal and 100% correct language.
Seeing as how different French is from Spanish and Italian. French is just broken Latin.
Chiaaaa Nash est trop rouge
As long as they don’t forget their real
language.
Lets Try #SWAHILI Language
Kiswahili kitukuzwe!
when theres so litle green in a city u know its very poor
@Ήρθα για να γελάσω με εσένα nice name
@Crazy Joe and u say Dubai is not green? yeah its in a desert but its green, not as green as other temperate cities but still green
It looks very dirty more dirty than my country
@@virtualoathstudios5484 nouchi started to be spoken in poor cities before it spreads in the entire country and the city you are seeing in this film is one of them. Otherwise you do have beautiful places and towns in the Ivory Coast
There is lots of green in Abidjan you just haven’t seen it these areas you see in the video are slums where Nouchi originated please don’t speak on things you don’t know.
French is an african language
Nash:
Voici mon Gbô Dougou sans dégbahure,
Glôki te tous les soutrays.
Te kokas gbés de cracrahure,
Ont reguigui ta djidjité.
TES FRIS, GOPIOS CÔTE D'IVOIRE,
FANS DJOBEURS DE TA DOUNGBAHURE,
TOUS EN GBONHI POUR QUE TU DJAFOULE;
VONT TE KPATA DANS L'ENJAILLEMENT.
They should speak their languages instead of french or french creole
They do.
I agree
They should make their local languages popular again
no...french language is the best for them
We do... we speak both
Only 34% speak French
That's not true...Nouchi is for people that can't speak standard French, mostly they did not go to school.
so don't say that ivoirians want to speak language that is not colonial.
we don't have any problem with the french language. and those who went to school do speak normal french. I never speak nouchi....and it's not accepted at schools or any other official place.
I think there is this unconventional way of speaking the language in every country for those who can't properly speak it.
same in Ghana, Nigeria ....
Thank you for sharing the truth!
Just wow. No one needed your comment to be posted, but okay.
@@victorjosesaaii2412😂
No no no only if african accept cultural alienation .we have many beautiful languages candidates to replace French in our future rebirth of Africa.
To replace English too? Because there seems to be a bias against non English colonial languages. Because you speak English and it’s a part of your culture you give it a pass
Ho ho ho ki
Drop all colonial languages in Afrika.
French is a african languese, this is a bad think.
Thats not good west africa needs to embrace its OWN languages
The world doesn’t speak “west African” languages so that’s not logical. They’ll continue to speak french, Portuguese, Dutch, English, Arabic and Spanish like the rest of the colonised world does. Get over it already.

@@Passportbros8 but my genetics are Berber NOT “bantu”.
But they speak their languages. A language is living.
😂😂😂 they slayed the beauty of the french language
Are you forgetting that idk......maybe French is a SECOND language among many in the France-Afrique diaspora?!
nobody cares about your colonial language
Continue to live in the past with your spirit of revenge. Meanwhile the rest of the world is moving forward.

Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish - they slayed the beauty of the Latin language.
French language steadily losing ground in Africa, Well done Mali for Stopping using French as official language
Yeah so funny to see that Malians are still willing to go to France though… And good luck with Russia and Wagner 😂
