Exoglossia
Exoglossy is a technical term in linguistics and describes the situation in which one or more languages are spoken in a country or have official status without being “native” there. Exoglossia is today v. a. to be found in many former colonies which, after independence, retained the language of the former colonial power as an educational, commercial or official language. The opposite of this speech situation is called endoglossia . Heinz Kloss , however, uses the term for the more highly regarded variety or language in a diglossia situation.
