Summary/Abstract: Gradually emerges, Côte d'Ivoire as a local French which is the resultant of the gradual fusion of varieties of French (French standard French and Ivorian Popular nouchi) in that country. This derives from the fact that there are a multitude of languages where none of them could not really replace the other. This "new normal" in French, named by French Ivorian remains a showcase of the Ivorian thriving cultural identity in literature, comedy and music in this country.
