How Ivory Coast is making the French language their own – BBC REEL
Young people in urban areas of Ivory Coast are rejecting their country’s colonial past by making the French language their own. Nouchi emerged in the 1970s and is one of the world’s newest languages.

Naw , our local languages will never die . For instance in the north they are inextricably linked to religion even in Abidjan . Most mosque bave their sermons in the local languages. For those languages to die religion must disappear which is impossible. In the west south and east they are used for traditional ceremonies and no French . Trust me Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 is different and blessed. Salut à tous les babinautes ❤❤❤
French is a african languese, this is a bad think.
Kiswahili kitukuzwe!
Drop all colonial languages in Afrika.
French is an african language
It is not about language, it is about education.
It's an ugly vulgar language. They gave the world "gonorrhea."
could have at least given the dude some music that was actually on beat with what he was rapping. making the dude look bad.
It's still al5french I can understand them as a native French speaker
REJECT ALL FRENCH IDEOLOGY. BE AFRICAN. BE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY! DON’T LET THE COLONIZERS WIN
That’s colonization 🤦🏾♀️
Only 34% speak French
Nash:
Voici mon Gbô Dougou sans dégbahure,
Glôki te tous les soutrays.
Te kokas gbés de cracrahure,
Ont reguigui ta djidjité.
TES FRIS, GOPIOS CÔTE D'IVOIRE,
FANS DJOBEURS DE TA DOUNGBAHURE,
TOUS EN GBONHI POUR QUE TU DJAFOULE;
VONT TE KPATA DANS L'ENJAILLEMENT.
I support the idea that this people are now waking up to reject a language that was introduced during colonial rule!
So is Nouchi broken French?
As long as they don’t forget their real
language.
That's not true…Nouchi is for people that can't speak standard French, mostly they did not go to school.
so don't say that ivoirians want to speak language that is not colonial.
we don't have any problem with the french language. and those who went to school do speak normal french. I never speak nouchi….and it's not accepted at schools or any other official place.
I think there is this unconventional way of speaking the language in every country for those who can't properly speak it.
same in Ghana, Nigeria ….
I would love to visit Ivory Coast. I hope more movies from there are made. They have to be in French
Equatorial guinea as well for Spanish..
fake news
French language steadily losing ground in Africa, Well done Mali for Stopping using French as official language
You know, this language is quite similar to French.
Ha ha No! This is Nouchi! old Ivorian recipe.
Imagine if Ghana and Ivory Coast unified and became one country? The people are mostly one they could create a mutually intelligible language look at what Malaysia and Indonesia did.
Why are the buildings painted black?
Lets Try #SWAHILI Language

YOU PEOPLE NEED TO PUSH AWAY WESTERN INFLUENCE. THIS VIDEO SHOWS HOW WRONG THIS GENERATION IS GOING IN AFRICA. INSTEAD OF YOU PEOPLE TO EMBRACE YOUR BANTU GOD GIVEN TRADITIONAL LANGUAGES AND ROOTS. You people should first kick France of of Africa.
It's rather a dialect then; isn't it?
Monsieur, excusez-moi. Pouvez-vous parler français, s'il vous plaît. Je ne comprends pas Nouchi…..
This is like in eastern Canada where the Acadians have created a language that isn't English or French but instead a mixture called Chiac.
Well they will basically be a french region by 2100 if they continue spreading this language
Ah yeeeah I think "NOUCHI", its like in nigeria with their "PIGIN". In my opinion Its quite Similar. Its also a way of communication of people who did not have acess to EDUCATION in NIGERIA
Chiaaaa Nash est trop rouge
Thats not good west africa needs to embrace its OWN languages
French is gay, speak English instead.
😂😂😂 they slayed the beauty of the french language
Informative ❤️
I can't tell the difference. It still sounds french somehow. But kudos for what they are trying to do.
More young Africans need to start pushing away western colonial influences and embrace thier African identity.
I like the idea of Nouchi but unfortunately it is not Authentically African. It really just sounds like an africanized French creole like we Haitians have. I support thier independent mindset however. It's a great start.
