Default Re: Franglais

Interesting article. I agree with Mark when he says that we tend to make a mixture of 2 languages when we talk to bilingual people. I usually avoid mixing French and English when I talk to my English friends except when I don't know a technical word. I say it in French! If it doesn't work, well I try to give a thorough definition!!
As far as Franglais is concerned. I am for setting it up as an official language if it enables people to communicate more easily with each other and unite the country. any language is welcome as long as it is useful for people.
Melesians of Papua New Guinea without their own version of English would not be able to communicate with each other since between them they speak 1700 different languages.
So Franglais as a symbol of unity in Cameroon? Yes!
" Je suis sure about this ! )
