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

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=160390.msg2686138#msg2686138

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

first we will start by making a[b] Nigerian Dialects dictionary[/b], 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 A concordance, maybe? I could be of great help if you make your point clearer.

I am on mobile and couldn't have the patience to scroll and scroll and scroll to read responses so I am making my own response based on the first post.

There is nothing good about this idea. Its very useless and it will be a sin against humanity and time management to spend more than 5 minutes thinking about this idea and brushing it off quickly.

Go out there and solve a real tech problem and make this world a better place. You can do it!

did you later do it?
BigStar1:
Hi, is there anybody that can reason along with me on this topic?



The dream is to have a functioning compiler that will interprete code written in any major languages in nigeria.



I believe many people will agree with me that the whites are not that good, and that they are just buying nigerians brain.


Why didn't we sit and think about this?


It's possible.

Which of the Nigerian languages.
Some languages can't express more than rudimentary basic cultural and survival communication ( blacks) some are rugged and beautiful, they can express detail and modern relatable concepts ( whites)
Leave coding languages for the better language.
