Is your language worth saving?

           The House of Assembly in Lagos, is teaching its staff how  to legislate in the Yoruba language.

Two years ago, the assembly adopted Yoruba - one of the three main languages spoken in Nigeria, as the second official language in the house. Transcripts of debates are translated into English.

Politicians say the idea is aimed at saving local Nigerian languages from extinction.

Is there a place for Kmtyw languages in the future? Do you speak any local languages that no longer exist? Should we have more Kmtyw Lingua Franca like Swahili in East Kmt? To what extent does the written word help in preserving languages? Send us your views.
