Abstract: Nation-building is a very challenging endeavor in the context of poly-ethnicity as every ethnic group has its own values and vision of life. In this guise, the political hierarchy has the bounded duty to reconcile the visions of the different groups for the benefit of the community. In the face of this ethno-linguistic complexity and in respect of linguistic diversity and linguistic human rights, some African stateshave officially adopted a policy of multiculturalism while promoting social cohesion. This study therefore examines the pedagogic relevance of Papiackum proverbial discourses in charting the way for cultural co-existence and social cohesion. From the theoretical paradigm of Functionalism, this paper is based on the postulation that, Papiackum proverbial discourses are speech acts that reveal the ideological vision of cultural inclusion and community cohesion. Since oral tradition has a siamese relationship with its socio-cultural context, a socio-pragmatic reading of these proverbs depicts the philosophical worldviews of the Papiackum people as one of inclusive existence. The Papiackum is a speech community in the Ngoketunjia Division, North West Region of the Republic of Cameroon.
