In the year 2001, the French government made the Creole languages of Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique and Reunion, one single “Regional Language of France”. The main reason for this policy is educational and should lead to results in creating one single teacher’s assessment exam for that subject. Disregarding local differences, underestimating the complexity of the settling of regional linguistic norms, and blindly following the all Creole activist discourse, the French authorities launched a project that has had no significant positive results. This article leads to the conclusion that there is a need for a differentiating branch of linguistics and recommends the creation of normative commissions working in the field with a goal to implement efficient policies.
