What do you think is the future of French in Africa?
If you google what language will increase the most over the next 50-100 years, many sources predict French due to massive population growth in Africa. However, do you think French will become obsolete in any of these countries and replaced by indigenous languages? In most of these countries, it serves as a lingua franca and is only spoken by the more educated classes. Are western analysts overstating the language's significance in Africa? #local
