| Resumo: | The article discusses the policies, discourses and practices involving the Portuguese language in Angola in relationship with the languages of Bantu origin. The text presents not only official discourses, from the educational sphere, but also localized conceptions, in which Portuguese operates in a hybridized way – constituting the Angolan Portuguese – or in parallel with Bantu languages. We focus on the Angolan rural context, considering the importance of a bilingual and translingual policy, in respect to linguistic diversity. Finally, the article advocates that linguistic diversity should not be seen as a problem, but as a cultural and political asset to be legitimized. |
