| language djibouti: Manual of Romance Languages in Africa Ursula Reutner, 2023-12-18 With more than two thousand languages spread over its territory, multilingualism is a common reality in Africa. The main official languages of most African countries are Indo-European, in many instances Romance. As they were primarily brought to Africa in the era of colonization, the areas discussed in this volume are thirty-five states that were once ruled by Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, and the African regions still belonging to three of them. Twenty-six states are presented in relation to French, four to Italian, six to Portuguese, and two to Spanish. They are considered in separate chapters according to their sociolinguistic situation, linguistic history, external language policy, linguistic characteristics, and internal language policy. The result is a comprehensive overview of the Romance languages in modern-day Africa. It follows a coherent structure, offers linguistic and sociolinguistic information, and illustrates language contact situations, power relations, as well as the cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment emerging from the interplay of languages and cultures in Africa. |

| language djibouti: Dictionary of Languages Andrew Dalby, 2015-10-28 Covering the political, social and historical background of each language, Dictionary of Languages offers a unique insight into human culture and communication. Every language with official status is included, as well as all those that have a written literature and 175 'minor' languages with special historical or anthropological interest. We see how, with the rapidly increasing uniformity of our culture as media's influence spreads, more languages have become extinct or are under threat of extinction. The text is highlighted by maps and charts of scripts, while proverbs, anecdotes and quotations reveal the features that make a language unique. |

| language djibouti: A History of East African Theatre, Volume 2 Jane Plastow, 2021-11-02 This second volume of A History of East African Theatre focuses on central East Africa; on Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. The first chapter is concerned with francophone theatres, comparatively studying work coming out of Burundi and Rwanda alongside a focus on French language theatre in Djibouti. The chapter is particularly concerned to explore how French and Belgian cultural policies impacted theatre during the colonial period and how the French ideas of Francafrique and promotion of elite, French language art have continued to resonate in the post-colonial present. Chapters Two and Three look comparatively at the rich theatre histories of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, and are divided between a study of British East African colonial impact and an analysis of the post-colonial period illustrating how divergent political thought and societal make-up led to exponential differentiation in national theatres. The final chapter, on Theatre for Development and related social action theatre, covers the whole East African region, offering the first ever historicised analysis of this mode of theatre making which, since the 1980s, has come to dominate funding and opportunity in performance arts. |

| language djibouti: Intercultural Communication Education and Research in the Middle East and North Africa Hamza R'boul, 2025-01-31 This edited volume gathers insights into the production of knowledge about interculturality in education and research in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The MENA region is seen in this book as a space with unique circumstances, conditions and complexities that need to be thoroughly explored and further unpacked. The book defines intercultural communication education and research broadly, but focuses on how teaching and researching interculturality is understood and practiced in MENA formal education classrooms and in various training situations such as business, politics, media and communication. This edited volume aims to (a) navigate representations of intercultural communication in education and research, starting from the premise that interculturality is not only a theory of analysis but also an activism for social and epistemic justice, (b) investigate specific phenomena, challenges and issues in education and research, including concepts/notions such as acculturation and intercultural understanding/empathy, and (c) explore subfields of knowledge such as sense-making and intercultural pragmatics, and specific contexts of interculturality such as immigrants, exchange programs and student mobilities. This book will be valuable read for students, educators, scholars and policymakers interested in intercultural communication and education in the region, as well as language and sociology more broadly. |

She's covered neo-Nazis and post-Katrina New Orleans, but now she's looking for an even bigger challenge.
