The authors are indigenous and/or have been participants in the language planning context. Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Tunisia are not well represented in the international language policy/planning literature, while the section on Nigeria draws together the published literature in this area. The purpose of the volumes in this series is to present up-to-date information on polities that are not well-known to researchers in the field. A longer range purpose is to collect comparable information on as many polities as possible in order to facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities that undertake the development of a national policy on languages. This volume is part of an areal series which is committed to providing descriptions of language planning and policy in countries around the world UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781847690128 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781847690128 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781847690128/original ER -
