Having Google in Yoruba is extremely relevant because it perserves our language. There are millions of people in the world who know English and their native language as well. So we should appreciate the fact that Google has done this and not dismiss it as something insignificant because most Nigerians already know English.

I believe strongly that there is nothing wrong in having Yoruba Google. Throughout the World, Yoruba Language and it's culture is one of the most respected. A large number of Yoruba people could not really read Yoruba language fluently. This however is due to negligence of our culture, tradition and norms. Yoruba Google is a highly welcomed development. But, then, a lot can still read and write Yoruba Language.

The question is this? how many of us takes our traditional languages important? We put our children in schools where no Nigerian traditional languages are spoken or taught. Funny right? So, even if we have Google in Igbo-Delta, how many of the tribe will be able to read it? Google has done well. So let's appraise them. In Germany, German is the language that is used to teach in schools. Finland, China, Japan and so on. So, when are we going to start respecting our culture? "what are we looking into the(courtesy- Sound Sultan)"

Yeah, because hausa is easier to learn, type write and whatnot. Yoruba has all those crazy ass marks and so many stuffs meaning the same.

What you referred to as the crazy ass marks is the easiest thing to learn. Just because YOU don't understand it doesn't mean it's crazy ass. It means YOU need enlightenment. And if you seek, you shall find.
All of Yoruba words are made from 3 sounds only. Just 3. And out of the 3 you only mark 2. What could be simpler!
As per one word with lots of different meanings, that's in most languages including English, dear. Example - run in 'run the company' is different from run in 'run so you can catch the bus'. The "company" you keep is different from the "company" that manufactured a product.
So my dear, embrace and encourage Yoruba, especially if you are Yoruba.
