We should choose now if the subforum will be 100% in English, 100% in French, or 50%-50%. Most of the Tunisians are speaking more French then English, therefore, I belive that will be more activity and more forumers here if more French will be used, but if English will still be used mainly, SSC forumers from other countries could easily read all, and would visit the forum more often.

You guys should also use your own language.

Russian section is in russian, UK section is in english, Portuguese section is in Portuguese, the japanese section has lots of japanese threads. Don't be ashamed of your own language! And this is true for other MENA forums.

Participation is good, no matter in what language it is . Im sure those who are bilingual would do us the favour to translate where possible.

as a Tunisian forumers I belive that this forum should be targeted also for the tunisian forumers as the morrocan forum this one will be bilingual and we can also use our own dialect with latin letters by the way no need to have arabic added in the poll :)

Word! The problem is that MENA's local languages aren't canonized and can be harder to type or read.

I vote for bilingual with more emphasis on English (and at least one thread in Tunisian :) )

Trilingual

Arabic and French should come first īcos these are the official languages of Tunisia and should therefore come first above anything else.

Then there should be English for the non-Arabic and non-French speakers.

The Brazilian forum is entirely in Portuguese and no native language, for example. You wonīt find English there apart from the threads that I have created.

I knew French had influence in the Maghreb, but I didn't realize French was still so dominant until coming to this forum.

Anyway trilingual I guess. People should post in whatever language they feel most comfortable with.

Well not only influenced it bt they colonized our countries ... For instance in tunisia they changes drastically the mentalities and also the society, the economy the infrastructures ( wich is not a bad thing ) and they opened french scholl everywhere to assimilate us ...

So yes indeed we are bilingual and speaking french is still considered as a social achievement let says since the elite is mostly francophone
