Abstract

Sango is the national and official language of the Central African Republic (CAR). The predominant language spoken by the youth on the streets of Bangui, the capital of CAR is a variant of Sango and it is labeled as the language of street children (Godobé). Sango Godobé differs from Sango with respect to the manipulations employed by the speakers of the former. In the following dialogue, the whereabouts of the paper on Sango Godobé are discussed with a particular focus on how Germain Landi carried out fieldwork and how he managed to obtain the necessary data for analysis.
