In opposition to my reconstruction of the origin of Sango — the lingua franca and official language of the Central African Republic — is that of M. Diki-Kidiri. His I characterize as mythic, motivated by ideology and not grounded on historic and linguistic facts. Whereas I have argued that Sango emerged because of the pidginization of Ngbandi dialects at the very beginning of the colonization of the region, Diki-Kidiri allèges that it simply evolved from Dendi, already a vehicular language when Europeans arrived. His arguments are submitted to analysis and contradiction by thorough documentation.
