Aw ni ce! Jean-Jacques Méric (@Meric_JJ) recently just published an interesting blog post (in French) investigating the status and level of children’s written Bambara in Ségou, Mali.
His investigation is meant to be a 25-year follow-up to Ingse Skattum’s 1997 research which she published in 2000:
Ingse Skattum, “Le Bambara Écrit à l’école Fondamentale,” ed. Ingse Skattum, Nordic Journal of African Studies, L’école et les langues nationales au Mali, 9, no. 3 (2000): 108–32.
