Abstract:
In 2018 and 2019, the Equatorial Guinean government Council of Scientific and Technological Research (CICTE) worked with five non-governmental cultural and development agencies, to co-host two sociolinguistic workshops focused on community-based language and identity development. Participants included 33 key leaders from six Bantu languages of Equatorial Guinea (EG): Balengue, Basek, Benga, Bisio, Fang, Kombe. This chapter reports the results of those sessions, and explains the linguistic policy of CICTE in promoting African languages.
