About
"This book investigates the speech of non-ethnic Fulfulde speakers in Maroua, Northern Cameroon, focussed on the Christian community, where the language is adopted as evangelistic instrument beside French. Three key reasons motivate our investigation. First: Context -- Fulfulde is embedded in a multilingual contact situation with Indo-European languages ​​(French, English) and many other local languages ​​belonging to Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo phyla. Second: Fulfulde as lingua franca in the region. This status is unique compared to the situation in other countries such as Senegal, Chad or Sudan where it is mainly an intra-ethnic medium of communication. Third: In contrast to the common perception of Fulfulde as the language of a Muslim community -- here we are targeting the Christian Fulfulde speakers who share the language as well as the Bible (translated into Fulfulde) as common goods for interethnic communication in their religious activities." -- Back cover.
