Is Italian still spoken in former Italian colonies?

by Thatguyimetonce

^Hopefully ^coincides ^with ^20-year ^rule: Was just wondering if anyone knew if or how widely Italian is spoken in Italy's former colonies much like French or English is today in the rest of Africa.

hi OP. By asking "is it still spoken", you are asking about current affairs, which does put this question in violation of the 20 year rule. But since this is (hopefully!) a topic unlikely to attract controversy, I'll allow this.

Note to respondents: this does not waive the subreddit rules for you, so just a reminder: no anecdotes, provide in-depth answers based on solid sources, no speculation... you know the drill. (Here's a link to the rules)
