Culture / Nigeria's Disappearing Languages by atuks(m): 11:50am On Nov 12, 2013
It is estimated that, if nothing is done, half of 6000 plus languages spoken today will disappear by the end of this century. With the disappearance of unwritten and undocumented languages, humanity would lose not only a cultural wealth but also important ancestral knowledge embedded, in particular, in indigenous languages. “The death of a language is like the burning of a library.”
Ethnologist lists Nigeria as having 15 endangered languages,
According to the study of a research carried out in 2007 in Imo and Lagos state to test Igbo competency level of three age groups , aged 1-5 and,6-11,and adults, a grim picture awaits the language . The report shows that seventy percent of children between 6-11 years and ninety percent of children aged five years and below were unable to speak Igbo language . The Igbo language will likely become extinct in the next fifty years.
Many Yoruba adults and young elements – wittingly or unwittingly have declare a ceaseless war against their own language as it is their common enemy .
Ngugi wa thiong ‘o a popular Kenyan novelist said “for me enslavement is knowing all the languages of the world ,but you don’t known your own” Empowerment is when you know your own language and you add other languages to it
The way forward is too urge us all to start speaking in mother tongue to our children at home, we should promote our language and encourage our children to speak it .
