Abstract:

Camfranglais is a composite language variant, a type of pidgin that blends in
the same speech act linguistic elements drawn first from French and secondly
from English, Pidgin English, widespread Cameroonian languages, and other
European languages like Latin and Spanish. It is used by secondary school
pupils to discuss, among themselves to the exclusion of non-members, such
issues as food, drinks, money, sex, physical look and the like. This speech
form has been in use in Cameroon for barely three decades.

Though a very young language variant, it is as widespread as Fulfulde that has
been used in the northern area of the country since the 15th century, as
Pidgin English that has developed in the south-western areas since the 16th
century and as Beti, a language group whose dialects have been natively spoken
in the south-eastern areas. The present work is divided into two parts. Part
One focuses first on the sociolinguistic contexts in which Camfranglais
evolved and then on the linguistic features of this speech form. Part Two is a
glossary which provides a lexical inventory of the most frequent Camfranglais
terms used within the last decade.
