Don't mind him.

He is extremely ignorant.

He is so ignorant and poorly educated that he does not know you cannot live in most European countries without speaking their languages. For example, in Amsterdam, all official communications and road signs are in Dutch. Children are taught in Dutch and they will only speak Dutch to you until you tell them that you are not resident.

Then you see some useless and ignorant child come online to say that only 3 languages will exist in a 100 years later. We are really producing poor quality "yoots" in Nigeria like say we dey crase. He would even say he has done "hard analysis" and "reasoned his predictions".

Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Hindi, Turkish will disappear despite them being national languages?

. Well,you aren't far from the truth..... That has been like a bone in our throats.... the truth is that those of us who were born and bred in Ughelli can't really speak urhobo fluently apart from few families that made it a compulsory thing...... I've alot of friends who can't understand it even tho they are from here too...But that doesn't mean you should write it off so quickly..We have neighboring communities around that constitute ughelli as a town.. Communities such as Afiesere, otovwodo, Ekiugbo and the rest..Those are the communities that speak and understand urhobo well...... Ughelli is just like a town that comprises of different tribes,tho it's an urhobo town...

YungMillionaire:
No such thing as 'Nigerian English'

Gamesmart:
Absolute shame!

Urhobo is one of the languages that have no excuse for dying out.

Baby Brain. Life though

Look how you wailing, blabbing like you getting paid for it. Your problem though. Am out
Bye bum

CartelKenneth:
You forgot Arabic too o(northern Nigeria,middle east and Morocco (although they also speak French as second official in Algeria and Morocco))

Vijuchoco:
3; Igbo, Esan and Yoruba

folake4u:
None!

It's the attitude of the people who should be speaking it that actually completes the clown show. There's a derogation (I think they don't know it is) term urhobo people in warri who can't speak their language call their hinterland brothers who are able to speak.
Urhobo language would have easily become a lingua franca in much of Delta state by virtue of the number of urban areas it is supposed to be spoken, if only they actually conversed in it.

Gamesmart:
The point is that there will be multiple languages 500 years from now.

I think Yoruba and Hausa are the safest in Nigeria. Many other Nigerian languages will be safe though.

seunayantokun:
There is no Nigerian language because Nigeria doesn't identify any ethnicity. However, there are languages of peoples deceitfully put together and forcefully tied together to fulfil the lifestyles and destinies of some people in Europe and America while giving their useful idiots here who their peoples label political leaders false sense of superiority.

Patrioticman007:
If you can speak broken English you can speak Hausa, for Hausa is a combination of Arabic, Kanuri & other local languages.
It's the most simple language in Nigeria.

Gamesmart:
Good enough.

Many useless kids in Nigeria today only speak English.

They think they are funky, despite being raised to be lost second rate human beings.

Yes sir, did my childhood in kagoro

internationalman:
One thing I like about Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa is that you hardly see their tribesmen who don't know how to speak it. Even those that weren't brought up in their locality still know how to speak it..

CartelKenneth:
You mean many others will not be safe

bennyflipy:
That's great

Are you still in KD?

Onyiiobi7735:
I can understand Hausa and Nupe to an extent,as I did my Youth Service in Nupeland in Niger state.
But preferably,I understand and read French and Spanish, and focus more on them, because of their great value internationally.

internationalman:
But it can't be nothing compared to my language.

There's hardly an adult Yoruba or Igbo person that don't know how to speak it. But I I have men and women in their fourties and thirties who can't speak our native tongue. Some that can speak it can't even speak it fluently.

Kyase:
Nope, away from the north now
Make I learn another language down south

Bobbiee:
English and Guosa. Guosa is an artificial language that borrows from several indigenous Nigerian and some west African languages. I'm not fluent, but can speak a thing or two. Due to the fact that I'm learning from text book, I'm sure my pronunciation is totally off. I hope they release it on Duolingo or some other learning platform

You guys need to do something about urhobo language because it's seriously dieing out. I was at ughelli sometime last year and as big the town is. I did not for once hear anybody speak urhobo not even in that very busy market close to otovwodo where a good number of the traders are urhobo themselves, same scenario is unthinkable in Lagos even with it's very cosmopolitan nature.
A lot of urhobo people born in urhoboland particularly around sapele,uvwie,warri and ughelli are unable to speak their language
