Indigenous Language(s): Gradually Going Into Extinction by Leader01(m): 6:57pm On Nov 02, 2015
Our indigenous language(s) which is part of our cultural heritage and identity is gradually going into extinction. Many of us these days find it difficult to speak our indigenous language not to talk of reading and writing in our indigenous language. Some are ashamed of speaking their language, many parents also discourage indigenous language in their homes, indigenous language(s) are longer taught in Primary Schools, except the major languages.

It may surprise you to know that before the coming of the Europeans most our our languages were only spoken. They came, studied our languages and gave the indigenous language(s) it's alphabets we no longer take it serious. Our written language(indigenous language) is the effort of the white.

How many of us can read and write in our indigenous language?
