Une langue islamique postmoderne ? L’émergence d’un « français d’islam »
By introducing his notion of “Islamic languages”, Alessandro Bausani (1921-88) argued that in the late modern era, the dynamics hitherto connecting the languages of Muslims experienced a U-turn as a result of the impact of nationalisms and of the growing influence of colonial languages. However, more recently, an increasing number of Muslim actors have appropriated, in turn, former colonial languages for Islamic religious writings and discourses.
