Master\u2019s thesis, Catholic University of Cameroon \u2013 Bamenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EN: This work investigates the community and language of the Fio people, an ethnic group found among the Bum people of Northwest Cameroon. The purpose of this work is fourfold: to determine the causes and processes of the endangerment or disappearance of the Fio language, to investigate the consequences of this loss on the community, to document Fio history, traditions, political systems, and community life, and to identify the role of language loss in the loss of cultural identity. This research uses interviews and observation to gather data on these topics, then applies a comparative analysis both qualitatively and quantitatively. It finds that the major reasons for language loss include a lack of intergenerational transmission, migration, marriage out of the group, proximity to the more dominant Bum group, and socio-economic need. Additionally, the majority of Fio people feel that their language, culture, and identity are closely linked. To them, losing one contributes to negative change in the others. Finally, the Fio people feel despondent about the loss of their language and culture, and wish to regain both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FR: Ce travail investit la communaut\u00e9 et la langue des gens Fio, un groupe ethnique qui se trouve au milieu du groupe Bum du Nord-ouest du Cameroun. Le but de ce travail est quadruple: d\u00e9terminer les causes et les processus de la mise en danger ou la disparition de la langue Fio, investiguer les cons\u00e9quences de cette d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration sur la communaut\u00e9, documenter l&#8217; histoire, les traditions, les syst\u00e8mes politiques, et la vie communautaire, et identifier le r\u00f4le de la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de la langue dans la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de l\u2019identit\u00e9 culturelle. Cette recherche utilise des entrevues et l\u2019observation pour ramasser des donn\u00e9es sur ces sujets, puis applique une analyse comparative \u00e0 la fois qualitative et quantitative. Il trouve que les raisons majeures pour la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de la langue incluent la p\u00e9nurie de la transmission interg\u00e9n\u00e9rationnelle, la migration, le mariage hors du groupe, la proximit\u00e9 du groupe plus dominant de Bum, et le besoin socio-\u00e9conomique. Aussi, la majorit\u00e9 des gens Fio sent que sa langue, culture, et identit\u00e9 sont reli\u00e9s de pr\u00e8s. Pour ils(les,leurs?), perdre l\u2019un contribue au changement n\u00e9gatif des autres. Finalement, les gens Fio se sentent d\u00e9prim\u00e9s par la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de leur langue et culture, et d\u00e9sirent regagner tous les deux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotlight on a Threatened Language: The Fio Language of the Bamenda Grassfields of North western Cameroon.
