The former colonies are forcing an evolution of the French language. Will France accept these changes, or will it try and maintain the classic form of the language?

Taking back your identity starts with the language.
Taking back your identity starts with their language.
then they migrate to europe cause of the corruption the next hungry leaders will bring.i bet.respect!
@@ajaxjaiswal3442 correct
Africa, India, Russia - love and respect ❤
Good for Africa
The Democratic Republic of Congo was a belgian colony. Not a french one. That why it is the most vast and populous french-speaking country in Africa. The colonial policy of France was to divide its african colonies in tiny countries to continuate to dominatie them after the pseudo-independance.
For exemple, if India was a former french colony, it would be divided in more than fithteen countries.
I think she was saying the former french Congo, the Republic of the Congo
Bet the French never thought that when they started their ‘high and mighty’ colonisation
Kinshasa already is the world's largest French-speaking city.
They should drop it asap😂
@@ogone1465
Swahili and English need to be dropped and replaced by French.
We Indian's give English as 3rd language, in Indian people 1st speak their mother tongue ( Punjabi, Tamil, gujrati, Marathi, bhojpuri, awadhi, marwadi, Assamese, Bengali etc), 2nd most popular is Hindi which connects india. 3rd most popular language is English because it connects Indian's to rest of the world . 4th is ancient language & my favourite Sanskrit (mother of all languages)
No one is taking in Sanskrit in india
@@umakantapradhan5745In India you study three languages, Mother tongue, Hindi and English, most of the South Indians think Hindi belt only learns two language but we got sanskrit as a compulsory third language. Hindi is not even our mother tongue but it will be impossible to form a country if hindi belt started talking about their differences.
@@daksh6388 There are only 2million sanskrit speaker in India.
Population of hindi belt 563million.
If sanskrit is compulsory then why only 2 millions?
Also only two state have sanskrit as official language.
Also hindi you speak today have big influence of urdu, Urdu is persian language.
Since hindi belt was ruled by mughals for long time, that have influenced local language to great extent.
Sanskrit use have drastically fallen after all the invasion.
While in south Tamil is still spoken widely, it is oldest active language.
@@mein3324 Either you are uneducated or wrongly educated.
In linguistic survey they ask you your first official language, Because languages in UP and MP are not considered languages they say they speak hindi, in rare cases they will ask you second official language you speak, the answer will be English. Sanskrit is compulsory subject in UP but nobody will tell you they speak Sanskrit. Shashi tharoor himself said that linguistic census do not consider him an English speaker because his mother tongue is malayalam so English speakers in India are also Undercounted.
And hindi belt is a Dravidian idea in hindi belt nobody calls it hindi belt because Hindi is an administrative language and nobody speak it as their mother tongue. So people in hindi belt will identify with their cultural linguistic identity rather than identifying with hindi.
Hindi is a language without Persian influence that's what makes it hindi , hindi with Persian Arabic influence is called urdu, Hindi speakers will speak urdu words but while writing hindi you have to be careful to not use urdu word and if we do it's the same thing as Tamil using sanskrit words.
French isn't a language, its a throat condition,
They're actually attempting Italian
Somali put behind Italian language 51 years ago
I wonder if they still eat spegetti still.😂
I like this interesting take on the evolution of the French language, however the French in France are real sticklers about speaking proper French. There is also the academie francaise that ensures the purity of the French language in France at least
I think there’s the French language police in Quebec too!😂😂
We do.@@quitran828
French in france will soon be arabic😅😅😅
Africans should let this language behind.
I love the commentary of this video, well said. It is our duty as Africans to reclaim the narrative and the world, we've given too much and endured the worst.
The future is African!
Time to get rid of all colonial languages in Africa. Swahili is soon becoming the language of all of Africa....
BIG MÉTROPOLE...... KINSHASA 🇨🇩
Nice reporting
funny part about this is that the descendants of french settlers in qubec consider themselves the real french speakers and that the french in france isn't real french the french in quebec has a lot difference from the french in france similar thing happening in africa now
It's funny how they try to stick to something dying instead of evolving with it.
The revolution is here
Leave the Linguistic Purity and it’s Language Policing to the Mainland. Let those Language Variants and Dialects outside of the Imperial Homelands decided how they would used it, Modify it according to their Local background and characteristics. Forcing the Puritanical Usage of it on the Periphery can be perceived as a Modern form of Linguistic Imperialism.
The Cajuns have a very interesting version of French .
Haven't they their own language,beside french .😊
French use africa for more than 500 years now french have to work for Africa for rest of humanity
Let's simplify it, remove GENDER on nouns and get rid of silent words and accents.
Yes. I hate that I have to look up the skirt or pull down the pants of a chair to figure it out 🤣. Drives me crazy
😂
Accordingly, Palki has a degree in French language. Unfortunately, I could not find any clips that she is speaking French. I would love to see it.
J'aime la Afrique!.
l'Afrique
❤ Africa is equal to Russia is that clear? The world must understand the chosen Emperor Putin's lights, light's the whole world . ❤.
That's because French is nstuve to Africa
Africa is no more under slavery, we must move forward and develope Africa, Africa deserves good too, no more Western looting in Africa, no more Western puppets presidents in Africa.
93000 🤔
There is another word in 🇮🇳n English that most people don't know, it is congress, the opposite of progress. Ironically, the 🇮🇳n National Congress, once the largest political party in 🇮🇳, also is associated with lack of social and economic progress.
Karma!
You know as a French, we don't care they're not our colonies anymore, they used to but now, yeah we're there but mostly the army and it's help more than anything, so we don't really care, however, I hope French sill stay there as a second language just in case we need to communicate faster with them if there are issues bc, we saw that English isn't easy for a lot of people that learn it in their mid childhood
Maybe African countries need to dump the French language and use their native language again?
French is native to Africa
Have this one ever set foot in Africa ? Every story for them is horror . The abhorrent acts of masters are spouted as messianic acts. How is it bad for a people to speak their own langauges? The French can't stand people going in class with covered head yet it's ok for others to embrace whatever is their societal norms. The arrogance is uncanny.
Why should #France not accept such African changes to the French language? It can be a way for former colonies to improve communications with each other and IMO #France to learn not to repeat its past horrific colonial actions and work for a better future such as overland road standardization across every land border on the same landmass as the former 🇫🇷 colonies on continental Africa. The African twists can be a symbol for the future of the French language in contrast to classical French as symbolized in the 🇫🇷 museum.
First to view🎉
English will be undone when Biafra comes. 😂😢😅
They will switch from French to Russian
Nope.
Lol , sometimes in trying to project inteligency folk just oozes ignorance or arrogance. So Without Western langauges Africans are mute ? hamba katshanale. putsheki
Language away from its origin is bound to change...so its not a big deal...they exagerate it as breaking free in colonialism when in fact its all common.tsk22
Drc was a belgian colony bro
belgians are french cousins..aame people
@@orisenabritt yeah but it's different
@@orisenabritt As Burundian, also a former belgian colony, I find it weired that we decided to keep French as official language.
Dude belgians speak French and Dutch majorly
@@AnshRathore-911 bro I'm sis I know that
Is said brazilians are changing portuguese children accent. When children watch YT they find brazilian portuguese videos and is changing their accents. Brazil is 200 million and Portugal is 10.
Africa has been colonized linguistically by the French and religiously by the Arabs and it’s sad.
India needs to bring back language which we spoke. Speaking english wasting talents 😢.
You should learn Sankrit if you want to save your “identities” 😊😊
RIP French imperialism.
Lol😅French has nothing to do with subsaharans attempt to speak our language.
Please respect the language of Molière.
The French language is full of uh uh uh, called sexy but if the last letter in a word is hardly pronounced, a new writing on the wall could become the alternative, Chinese.
Nah Chinese is more dominant in Asia rather than other continent
Japanese also study mandarin too
There are far too many Africans in French universities because of the common language. Russia or China which are highly appreciated countries in Africa could accept many more African students, the language should not be an obstacle.
That's actually not true. I'm here in the south of France which is predominately north and west African as well as Turkish. The white french population is rapidly declining
franceafric concept should disappears. It's a share to put a small country and a continent on the same level. It's shameful.
Ooh. 60% percent of French speakers live in Africa. Sounds bad for Africa does not it?How about this? 2 billion English speakers live in India --the country that this host hails from.
English is 3Rd language for Indians
No one has English as mother tongue in India
@@Amoghavarsha. Yes, Same as in Congo. French is the official language when doing business but at home people speak Lingala, etc. You do same in India. You speak English in the corporate environment and go back to your languages when you get back home. The Indian commentator was seeming to mock Africans when you'll do the same over there. That's why I made my comment. And before you say it, you are beginning to change it and you have landed things on the moon. I get all of that.
@@bekisiphotshili2566 you are slightly mistaken all buisness and activities done in Hindi ( almost universal language in India and world's third highest spoken language with 1.1 billion speakers )
We use English at highest studies and It industry only ... We have compulsary learn English language as 3Rd language along with mother tongue and Hindi. So most Indians know atleast basic English.
@@Amoghavarsha. My point exactly.
@thaimayoree1494
French will soon be tge language of the entire Maghreb and your country 🤪😝😁🤣🤭
@thaimayoree1494
Arabic will soon be the language of your country 🤪😝😁🤣🤭
Is classical French...... a bit racist ???
