I am indebted to the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures (RCLC) of the University of South Australia for providing a wonderful environment for research on languages and cultures and for the support and encouragement I received from Associate Professor Angela Scarino.
I would also like to acknowledge the staff members at the Direction de l’Alphabétisation et des Langues Nationales(DALN), whose extensive knowledge and expertise in their field are extremely precise. In particular, I would like to thank Ms Bathily and Ms Oulimata Sarr-Sarry for discussing language issues in Senegal with me and for responding to all my questions.
I would like to extend my thanks to Souleymane Faye and Mamadou Ndiaye at Centre de Linguistique Appliquée de Dakar (CLAD) for their time and for sharing their experiences as scholars working in the national languages with me.
I thank my brother Mamadou Saïdou Diallo for the useful information he provided when I needed it most.
