Language Planning in Africa 
The Cameroon, Sudan and Zimbabwe 
Edited by Nkonko Kamwangamalu, Richard Baldauf Jr. and Robert Kaplan 
This volume focuses on language planning in the Cameroon, 
Sudan and Zimbabwe, explaining the linguistic diversity, 
historical and political contexts, current language situation 
(including language-in-education planning), the role of the 
media, the role of religion and the roles of non-indigenous 
languages. The authors are indigenous to the situations 
described, and draw on their experience and extensive fieldwork 
there. 
The extended case studies contained in this volume draw 
together the literature on each of the polities to present an 
overview of the existing research available, while also providing 
new research-based information. The purpose of this volume is 
to provide an up-to-date overview of the language situation in 
each polity based on a series of key questions, in the hope that 
this might facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide 
language policy and planning in other polities where similar 
issues may arise.  
This book comprises case studies originally published in the 
journal Current Issues in Language Planning.
