This entry provides a genealogy of the concept of “multilingualism” with the analysis of how it came to be a topic of daily conversations, institutional politics, and scientific studies. At its core, the entry views the concept as fundamentally ideological and that its pertinence depends on material historical conditions regarding the relation between colonialism and the construction of the Nation-state.
