In Nigeria today we often find that our indigenous languages, even the main three are spoken by the current generation with a lot of English words. Either word for word or poorly remixed to fit the tonation.

E.G. Table (english) --- Tabili (yoruba)

Without relying on the federal government (due to chronic uselessness), how would you suggest this habit can be fixed? Would it be possible to establish a central and official language development centre where our indigenous vocabulary is updated by fluent language experts creating new words for new objects and inventions and publishing official dictionaries (like the english Oxford dictionary for example) instead of simply copying the English language? I fear that without this crucial action, indigenous languages are at risk of being left to decay in the past.

Do you think it's necessary or possible and if so how?
