520 |a The designation of an official language is an institutional element of state rationalization, yet factors that determine this choice have not been fully accounted for. This paper provides a framework highlighting two historical factors that are keys to predicting the use of indigenous languages in formal domains: the availability of a written tradition by a major group in the country in the era before missionary and/or colonial exposure and the degree of linguistic fractionalization within the colonially set borders. Statistical estimates test and a set of vignettes illustrate the workings of these historical factors in accounting for postcolonial language policies.
