A different view of Sango
Samarin, William J.. - : Societe des Africanistes, 2008
Abstract: References omitted by mistake of the editor; to be supplied. Re: Charles Morrill. ; The impoverished République Centrafricaine whose health as a state is attacked from within and without and barely administered with a phantom government is held together by its indigenous language, a lingua franca for most of the population but the first language of a growing number. In this respect it is almost unique on the African continent even when compared with Swahili, Lingala, and Kituba. But like the latter two it owes its existence as a pidginized vehicular language to the spontaneous idioms that arose when Africans from elsewhere arrived with colonization in the nineteenth century and interacted as well as they could linguistically with the people along the banks of the upper Ubangi River. This, at least, is the view that I have expounded during the last two decades, taking care to evaluate other views of the language, all of which are cited below.
