Abstract
Abstract:
Mayotte (Maore), the easternmost island in the Comoros archipelago, took a tremendous political leap in 2009 by voting to become, in 2011, France's 101st département. Many teachers of French are unfamiliar with Mayotte and its integration into la République française. The present article introduces readers to the island's geography and history, Mahorais society, and its indigenous languages. The article concludes with suggested resources for including Mayotte in the classroom.
