It is myopic to assume that either fundamental interpretation of globalization is a recent development or to assume that globalization qua mondialisation is disconnected from colonization.

In Africa, the geographical expansion of the Bantu population, which has resulted in the domination and assimilation, sometimes in further marginalization, of the Pygmy and Khoesan populations is reminiscent of the Indo-European expansion, which continues to date in the world.

In the case of massive refugee exoduses, one of the questions regards the extent to which the vacuum left in the home country affects the vitality of languages. Will the few members of the same ethnolinguistic group left behind shift to another language in order to protect their identity and get their children to speak nothing else but the other language? Will those who left ever return to rebuild the critical mass that their language needs in order to thrive? What happens in the host countries? Are the refugees kept together and in isolation from the host populations, in places where they can continue to evolve in their own cultures and languages? Or are they given refuge in places where they can interact regularly with the host populations and their children acquire the latter’s languages as their vernaculars? Is there any hope for them to return home or are they settled almost for good?
