<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><em>> ... Tomorrow there
will be a Congo
supplement. If there is something more on language use I will send a follow-up
message....</em></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">The supplement has 80 pages
in tabloid size, but it has little about language use.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Most interesting is the list
of <strong>Dutch place names</strong>,
which have been replaced afterwards.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">If when the former colony
was ruled mainly in French, belgian law at the time was alreasy bilingual, and
so we had Dutch versions of the names of those places.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Be aware I have nothing to
do with the name Thysstad. It referred to a family of railroad constructors
from the Dalhem area, in the North East of the province of Liège.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Below follows a small
article from p. 45 of the suppement.</p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">In 1971 gaf toenmalig president Mobutu de Congolese republiek een nieuwe
naam: Zaïre. Die naam Kregen ook de Congostroom ende nationale munt, voorheen
de Congolese frank. En in datzelfde Rader van de authenticité moesten de
Zairezen ook afstand nemen hun veelal christelijke doopnaam. Zo heette de
president voortaan Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">In 1966 had hij al de plaatsnamen die naar de koloniale tijd verwezen, door
'authentieke' namen vervangen. In een aantal gevallen was dat al onder het
koloniale bewind gebeurd. Zo kreeg Bukavu in 1954 zijn huidige naam. Vooraleer
het definitief Moba ging heten. heette Boudewijnstad eventjes Viningu. Bij het
einde van de Mobutu-dictatuur, in 1997, kreeg het land zijn oude naam terug,
maarde andere plaatsnamen bleven bewaard.</p>
