'''Camfranglais, Francanglais, or Francamglais''', is a vernacular of Cameroon, containing grammatical and lexical elements from Cameroonian French, Cameroonian English and Cameroonian Pidgin English, in addition to lexical contributions from various indigenous languages of Cameroon. The language blend is common among young people in the country, and rivals Cameroonian Pidgin English ("Creole") as the country's most common lingua franca. Speakers are already fluent in either English and French, and as such it is not used in situations where both parties lack a common tongue. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Camfranglais," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camfranglais, accessed 2 April 2021.</ref> | |||
