Multilingualness

In the beginning of his book he describes the multilingualness of his home in an interesting way. The family spoke German and Russian at home, he learnt Swedish at school and Finnish at work.

He laughed easily, so blasé about his French wife and multilingualness.

The persistent metaphorization or seeming cacophony conflated with African languages on the silver screen only serves to further iterate commonsensical notions of African multilingualness as valueless—as lacking in linguistic capital.
