THERE ARE CHALLENGES TO THE ADOPTION AND USE OF A NATIVE NEGROLAND AFRICA LANGUAGE AS A LINGUA FRANCA FOR ALL NEGROLAND AFRICA

one of these challenges
is
practical simple common sense.

by this i mean,
for example,
which of the native Negroland Africa languages
does one choose ?

if one looks at Negroland Africa
i.e
if one looks at

● Western Africa,
● Eastern Africa,
● Central Africa,
● Southern Africa

which is essentially
the area/part of Africa below the Sahara Desert
i.e
sub-Saharan Africa

and
at the languages spoken there
as languages of

government,
administration,
commerce,
trade,
finance,
business,
etc,

one finds that
the major languages spoken
include :

● english,
● french,
● portuguese and
● arabic.

french, english and portuguese
are the native languages of
the European peoples of France, England and Portugal
all in Western Europe, Europe.

arabic is the native language of the Arab peoples of
Northern Africa, Africa and the Middle East.

french is probably,
geographically,
the language spoken over the widest land mass area of Africa
going by the number of countries in Africa that were formerly ruled by France
i.e
formerly colonies of France
and upon which the French people imposed their own native french language.

it is followed in this regards by english
and then perhaps by portuguese.

arabic is spoken over a wide range area because
it is the language in which Islam i.e the Islamic religion is
propagated, taught and practiced.

so
every Muslim
i.e
every follower/adherent of the Islamic religion
reads,understands and speaks? it
as the Quoran ( i.e the Holy Book of the Islamic faith ) is written in arabic
and
one needs to be able to read and understand Arabic in order to read it.

english is more or less the world’s language for
science,
technology and
administration

and many people from countries other than Great Britain / United Kingdom
e.g
Germany,
Spain,
Italy,
Switzerland,
etc
( all of which are also in Europe )
speak and write english
in addition to
their own native languages
e.g
German,
Spanish,
Italian,
etc

thus,
it is probably a contest
between
english, french and arabic
as to which of them is
spoken over the greatest land mass area of Negroland Africa.

among the native Negroland Africa languages themselves,
hausa and swahili are probably the languages spoken over the widest land mass area.

hausa is spoken across a number of countries in Western Africa.
swahili is spoken across a number of countries in Eastern? Africa and Central? Africa.

taking all of this into cognizance,
the vital question
remains :

█ if one were to adopt a language as a lingua franca for Africa,
which language would one choose
and
which languages would one drop ?

and in our own context here

█ if one were to adopt a native Negroland Africa language
as a lingua franca for all Negroland Africa,
which language would one choose
and
which languages would one drop ?

and then
there is also
the question of
practicality and implementation :

█ how does one get
the extremely high number of different tribes / ethnicities / ethnic groups across Negroland Africa
( all of whom more or less have their own individual distinct Negroland Africa language )
to accept and use the language of a tribe
different from theirs
i.e other than theirs
as a language that
they and everyone else will henceforth be speaking ?

and then
there is the implied question :

if one says :
█ we don’t need the Negroland Africa people to accept the language
we want them to speak.

● Belgium didn’t need the acceptance of the Congo people
to make them speak french.
it imposed the language on the Congo people.

● the Dutch / Holland / Netherlands people who ruled the Republic of South Africa
didn’t need the acceptance of the people of the Republic of South Africa
to make them speak afrikaans and english.
they and the English/UK folks who dominated/ruled the Republic of South Africa
at certain periods of world history
imposed these languages on the Republic of South Africa people.

● so,
we don’t need the Negroland Africa people to accept the language
we want them to speak.
we are just going to choose one language
and
force it/impose it upon them.

how does one achieve it ?
without the brutal life or death option methodology
rumoured
to have been used by the Europeans and Arabs
when imposing the use of their own native languages
( french, english, arabic, portuguese, etc )
on the native Negroland Africa tribes ?
