The article deals with the analysis of linguistic interference peculiarities at different levels of French from the indigenous languages of Ivory Coast. The authors pay special attention to the effects of phonetic, lexical and grammatical interference which occur to varying degrees on mesolect and basilect French variants and violate the speech norms of French in France. The practical work part is based on the analysis of the examples of phonetic, lexical and grammatical interference, presenting the specific features of Ivorian French.
