Congolese vernacular languages and territory: symbol of identity construction

Abstract

Our vernacular language is an ancestral legacy. This article analyzes the relevance of Congolese vernacular languages and the value of the territory, the place of their social influence and habitation of the Congolese peoples, as a symbol of identity and citizenship construction. Identity construction is shaped by singular cultures, the languages of natural communities and systems of solidarity, the foundation of human society. It is based on individual, collective, social and national vital force in order to transform the Congolese peoples from within.
