Oh my! This thread makes me very happy. I'm a linguist and i started a related thread:

I can't emphasise enough how important it is to develop our local languages - directly or indirectly.

first we will start by making a Nigerian Dialects dictionary, knowing the languages we going to use incase of reference anyway, I will get back on this later.

I saw this quote just now. what exactly do you mean by a Nigerian Dialects Dictionary? No such thing exists and it cannot for at least 100 years! It will take a team of 50 linguists 20 years at least to achieve that in about 20 volumes! HONESTLY. less than 30 Nigerian languages actually have dictionaries. And 1 language could have as many as 10 dialects. What exactly do you mean??? Huh

A concordance, maybe? I could be of great help if you make your point clearer.
