Postcolonial Multilingualism is a theoretical framework within multilingual literature that accounts for the coexistence, interaction, and hierarchization of languages in former colonies, distinguished by its focus on the enduring linguistic legacies of colonialism and the sociopolitical dynamics shaping language use, identity, and power in the post-independence era.
