This study looks at the island of Mauritius, where Creole is the language of inter‐ethnic communication, English is used in government, the judiciary and education, and French is the dominant language of economic and cultural power. An outline is given of the historical background to the present status of Creole, followed by a review of the educational situation as far as languages are concerned and, finally, a survey of the possible roles the dominant languages of the community might have to play in the future.
