I'm trying to find it and it's gone. Why? It was just asking how much French is spoken in Africa.
Why Does My "French In Africa" Post Keep Getting D
Because they cannot accept that French is deeply rooted in Africa and not regarded as a foreign language but also their own language too in contrast to other colonial languages.
Because they cannot accept that French is deeply rooted in Africa and not regarded as a foreign language but also treated as their very own language too in contrast to other colonial languages.
Actually that's quite a feat, considering the threads that do NOT get deleted...
You may want to consider looking for it again...

Then you have to accept that the future of French depends of this continent and in Africa French language sometimes has won but others have lost.
Remenber that now Sango is official in Central African Republic or Kinyarwanda and English in rwanda
In north Africa is worse..

English is the one that is worse. Swahili is declared an official language in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda and it will soon replace English totally. Nigeria and Ghana are fast switching to French that they required French to be taught at school.
In Rwanda, French is being challenge because of the Tutsi president who is an Pro-Anglo.
Egypt, an Ex-Brit colony is member of La Francophonie but not of the Commonwealth and French is competing there with English and popular especially with the elite. In fact many families choose their children to take French as the foreign language to learn than English because they see the latter as a threat ot world culture.
How could French be threatned in Afric when it's not even treated as a foreign language but rather as a native language. Yes, it's even used in government, commerce, and education than Arabic. French is even more spoken here than English in India.
But the wors sitaution is Spanish because it is disappearing in Equatorial Guinea, Ceuta and Mellila in Morocco. In Western Sahara it's not even spoken.

Hispanics our ourgraping because first Spanish disappeared in the Philippines, Marianas, and Guam and they were ruled by Spain for more than 300 years and no traces can be seen in the language of the people. It's lamentable indeed and to think the people there have Spanish surnames.
The same thing happened in Western Sahara. It discarded Spanish in usage once and for all and French is introduced because of Morocco and Mauitania.
Spanish is fast disappearing too in Equatorial Guinea and in tiny parts of Northern Morocco because it's giving way to French.

They're wetting on their pants right now.
What more if they learn that Amerindians in Hispanic America are now asserting their language and culture that's why Guarani, Quechua, and Aymara are now official languages along with Spanish. Once these languages become rational enough then it's the end of Spanish as official language and even as a spoken language in the countries where those languages are spoken.

Maghreb French
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
French in Maghreb, French is an administrative language and commonly used though not on an official basis in the Maghreb states, Mauritania, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. The French language was introduced in the region during the colonial era. The majority of the population in Maghreb speak either a Semitic Arabic vernacular (see; Maghrebi Arabic, Darija, Algerian Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Tunisian Arabic) or a Berber language as native language. Classical Arabic, spoken natively by no one, is the official language of all the Maghreb states.
Algeria
Algeria was a part of the French colonial empire for 130 years, see; French rule in Algeria. Algeria was the home to about one million pieds-noirs which later were relocated in France. French is still the most widely studied foreign language, and widely spoken (distantly followed by English), but very rarely spoken as a native language. Since independence, the government has pursued a policy of linguistic Arabisation of education and bureaucracy, with some success, although many university courses continue to be taught in French. French is also widely used in media and commerce. Algeria is the second largest french speaking country in the world.Many Algerians use french and Arabic mixed in together as a daily part of their lives.
Morocco
French serves as Morocco's primary language of commerce and economics. It is taught universally and still is widely used in education, media and government.
Tunisia
The situation in Tunisia is similar to that of Morocco. French is used widely in education (for example being the medium of instruction in the sciences in secondary school), the press, and in business, and most educated Tunisians are able to speak it. Many Tunisians mix Tunisian Arabic with French.
