Abstract
Verbs and Conjugation in “Camfranglais” “Camfranglais” is a Cameroon-specific urban language. This is a hybrid language whose basic languages are English and French, as well as the limbs of the substrate, the spoken languages in general. The verb occupies an important place in the syntactic constructions of this language. In general, he adopts the verbal features of the French. This article aims to understand and explain the verb and conjugation in “camfranglais”. It is, among other things, to determine the etymology and neologisms of sixty verbs, to present the four groups of verbs and finally to enumerate the ten most commonly used times of this argotic language. The examples used to support this contribution come largely from scientific papers, as well as from the texts of urban music.
