There are over 60 languages spoken in Côte d’Ivoire, though varieties of French are dominant. While much has been said about language maintenance throughout Africa, there has been relatively little analysis of this topic in Côte d’Ivoire, specifically. This chapter addresses this gap through an examination of two case studies of language maintenance and endangerment in Côte d’Ivoire. We first consider Atchan, a Kwa language spoken by the Tchaman people in and around the urban center of Abidjan. The second case study focuses on Guébie, a Kru language spoken in a rural area in the southwest part of the country. In these two contexts, we argue, attrition and endangerment are driven mainly by environmental, economic, and sociopolitical factors. Nonetheless, these languages are maintained in part because they index authenticity and local identity, and there is a designated domain of use: traditional cultural practices and ceremonies. We suggest that promoting and maintaining cultural traditions will help to maintain a domain in which the local language is used, despite growing pressure to shift to more dominant languages in other domains.
