Zusammenfassung | This paper investigates language attitudes among ethnic migrant groups in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan. A questionnaire was used to collect data on language preference, language parents prefer their children to learn, and reasons for language preference. Results suggest that while positive attitude played a significant role in learning Arabic among some of the groups under investigation, it proved to be of no help in maintaining the groups’ ethnic languages. Arabic was reported as very important for education, religious activities, economic privileges and social interaction. Ethnic languages, on the other hand, were preferred for purely symbolic reasons (symbolizing groups’ ethnic identity). Cet article examine le comportement linguistique de certains groupes ethniques d’immigrés à Khartoum, la capitale du Soudan. A l’aide d’un questionnaire on a collecté des données sur les langues utilisées de préférence et sur celles que les parents aimeraient que leurs enfants apprennent et pour quels domaines telle ou telle langue est préférée. Les résultats laissent entrevoir qu’une attitude pos4itive à l’égard de l’arabe n’est pas favorable au maintien des langues des groupes ethniques. On accorde une grande importance à l’arabe dans l’éducation et la formation, dans la religion, dans les activités économiques et dans les contacts sociaux. Les langues des groupes ethniques n’ont qu’une valeur symbolique (elles sont le symbole de l’identité ethnique du groupe). Die Arbeit untersucht Spracheinstellungen bei Gruppen ethnischer Migranten in Khartum, der Hauptstadt des Sudan. Mittels eines Fragenkatalogs wurden Angaben darüber erhoben, welche Sprachen bevorzugt benutzt werden, von welchen es wichtig erscheint, dass die Kinder sie lernen, und für welche Domänen welche Sprachen bevorzugt werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten an, dass eine positive Einstellung gegenüber dem Arabischen, dem Erhalt der ethnischen Sprachen nicht förderlich ist. Dem Arabischen wird eine große Bedeutung in der Erziehung/Ausbildung, der Religion, wirtschaftlichen Vorteilen und im gesellschaftlichen Austausch zugeschrieben. Den ethnischen Sprachen, wird dagegen nur symbolische Bedeutung zugemessen, als Symbol der ethnischen Identität der Gruppe. |
