The real problem is the map. Before European colonization, each tribe spoke their own language, and identified with their own tribes rather than there being a “national” government people submitted too. The arbitrary borders of Mali and all African countries will be confusing to the outside world, but I’m sure the tribes will revert to a system in which they had evolved before the disruptions by the Europeans. Purification of language is just the first step of the healing process.

Hindi is barely spoken by 40% of the population and even within this 40% it has various dialects that it tries to gloss over. The north east also uses English as a lingua Franca among its various tribal languages so it's easier for them to communicate via English.

For those who want a bit more information: Bambara, French, Fulfulde and Songhay are the 4 languages that are used as lingua franca. French is actually not as popular as you might think with only about 33% of people being proficient in it. Bambara is more adopted with 60% speaking it. It should be noted those 13 languages were recognised back in the 90's as Mali's native languages but most of them have very few speakers. They will most likely be given national status as a way of protecting them. Mali is probably right to remove French from their nation and consider adopting English as it has more use as a commercial language whilst also using Bambara etc as their mother tongues.

Therefore, it should be blatantly obvious to any sensible person that a country, whose very existence and borders are born out of an imperial construct (between the French and British in this case) and hence has used French as its lingua franca for over 200 years will continue to use French as the common language between its many disparate ethnic peoples.

France can be the lingua-franca amongst the people that went to school but for the illiterate and rural folks, they don't speak French. So it's sorta like there's two lingua francas, French and Bambara. There has been growing ethnic tensions against certain groups (Tuareg and Fula) but for the most part the different ethnic groups in Mali get along.

It's not exactly unprecedented to have multiple languages in a country. Obviously French will stay but the symbolism of it being practical-not-official is likely meaningful. Also it could help preserve the native languages even if they're not the "common" language.

How? Politicians should be looking to improve lives of their countrymen, limit bureaucracy, make everyday life easy and smooth so people can prosper. This decision is a nightmare fuelled by historical anger. Its like Ireland banning English language and making native Irish official as their 1st language (meaning it would be used in schools or governmental buildings and such) because of what English did to them historically, despite the fact that barely anyone in Ireland speaks actual Irish fluently and its more of a novelty dead language like Latin. But even that would be better than having a country with 13 goddamn official languages instead of one everyone understands. Leave being emotional and opening old wounds to dumb journalists and far right nationalists, politicians should look to improve the future and instead they are dragging it down.

You have no idea what Mali looks like. Half of Malians understand each other in just a couple of languages. Almost everybody in Mali understand Mandingo(Bambara being a dialect). Most Africans learn from birth to speak 2 or more languages fluently. Any educated Malian speaks another language besides French. The same holds for Guinea! Just to let you on this most Malians understand Northern Ivorians, Eastern Burkinabe and in some cases part of Senegal. French was just an elitist language and easy to write as well. The main problem is our western exclusion of Africans. Our technology from US in English is translated in dozens of European languages to be shared while many Africans that don’t even need any translation are intentionally excluded! The same counts for French! Any French invention is translated in dozens of other languages yet the African who speaks and writes French will never have the chance or even a hint of that technology! These guys are now saying enough is enough! By the way almost every child born in Abidjan speaks local French, some even speak French before mother tongue. That counts for a child growing up in Luanda, Angola where the street language in Portuguese!The west just decided to exclude and negate the African and its influence is now dying faster than the sunset in the twilight zone! We reap whatever we sow!

If the people there don't gravitate to one language where everyone feels comfortable , your going to get problems . This is a long term issue, that will become prominate if children are only taught their historical language.
