Abstract:

 Addresses the issue of language planning in pluralist Ethiopia.
Offers an evaluative appraisal of the new policy that considers a
number of obstacles to implementation of the policy and questions the
move towards the preference of the roman alphabet to the Ethiopic
syllabic writing system. (33 references) (Author/CK)
