- The relationship between Portuguese and indigenous languages in the Community of Portuguese Language Countries: an existential sociolinguistics perspective David M. Balosa Relaciones Internacionales Post colonial discourse Philosophical reflection Existencial socialinguistics In this study, I criticize the use of Portuguese as the sole official language of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). I address the question: Portuguese as the sole official language of the CPLP: what insight is gained for the post-colonial discourse analysis of the CPLP? I employ the theoretical framework of existential sociolinguistics and engage in the method of philosophical reflection – an analysis of arguments – the case of the relationship between Portuguese and indigenous languages within the CPLP as stated in the organization’s objective. I found that Portuguese as the sole official language of the CPLP fosters hegemonic linguistic power, perpetuates social injustice and anti-intercultural value, and undermines linguistic and cultural rights and dignity. In conclusion, I propose a multilingual language policy with the representation of indigenous languages to solve this problem and demonstrate an equitable, dignified, and decolonized treatment of languages other than Portuguese in the CPLP. 2022 artículo científico 2178-8839 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=744181032002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7441 Conjuntura Austral application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Conjuntura Austral (Brasil) Num.63 Vol.13
