Abstract
The coexistence of many different linguistic groups in
the same geographical territory is a social reality that poses a great
challenge to language planning. Today, increased plurilingual and
socio-linguistic dynamisms have forced some regions, through political and
linguistic regulations, to manage the relationship between the linguistic
groups in a given geographical territory. In fact, language question creates
tension in the society. The choice of one or more languages is capable to
crystalise antagonisms in the regions. Each region must develop their languages
in their territory to avoid linguistic crisis and tension that can lead to
social, political, economic instability in the country. However, there is no ideal language planning
but political stakeholders must analyse language from linguistic, social milieu
and study their social functions as well as their linguistic needs in the
society before developing them.
