Abstract
- Attempts to determine why a highly multilingual country such as Zaire has not yet chosen an indigenous language for official use. Argues that should Zaire choose such a language, Swahili, it should become an additional language rather than a substitute for the incumbent official language, French. (47 references) (Author/CK)
