Resumo: The Portuguese Language was used as an instrument of tiering, silencing and isolation of African languages, today known as Angolan national languages. This article articulates a brief historic route for purposes of analysis of the resistant presence of national languages in Angolan territory against a colonial policy that aimed at erasing African culture through assimilation. This was legitimized through the Native Statute and had the premise of introduction of European customs to Westernize the Angolan community. In this panorama, besides acts of linguistic racism, the resistences that enabled the survival of some African languages are highlighted, as well as the ever-changing power relationships which made the Portuguese language, colonial instrument, to be called Angolan Portuguese.

O presente artigo articula um breve percurso histórico para fins de análise sobre a resistente presença das línguas nacionais em território angolano diante de uma política colonial que visou o apagamento cultural africano por meio do assimilacionismo. Tal feito era legitimado através do Estatuto do Indigenato e tinha como premissa a introdução de costumes europeus, no sentido de ocidentalizar a comunidade angolana. Neste panorama, além de atos de racismo linguístico, são evidenciadas as resistências que possibilitaram a sobrevivência de algumas línguas africanas, bem como as mutáveis relações de poder que fizeram com que a língua portuguesa, instrumento colonial, passasse a ser chamada de Português Angolano.Associação Brasileira de Linguística2019-06-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPolitics; theoretical; social.Avaliado pelos paresPolítico; teórico; social.application/pdftext/xmlhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/50710.25189/rabralin.v17i2.507Revista da ABRALIN; V. 17, N. 2 (2018)Revista da ABRALIN; V. 17, N. 2 (2018)0102-715810.25189/rabralin.v17i2reponame:Revista da ABRALIN (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/507/1261https://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/507/2104Copyright (c) 2019 Heloisa Tramontim de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOLIVEIRA, Heloisa Tramontim de2021-04-12T13:48:45Zoai:ojs.revista.ojs.abralin.org:article/507Revistahttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralinPUBhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/oairkofreitag@uol.com.br || ra@abralin.org2178-76031678-1805opendoar:2021-04-12T13:48:45Revista da ABRALIN (Online) - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false
