A Constructed Language As Nigeria's Official Language by WoeBetide666: 5:40pm On Jan 07 |
If there were a bill proposing the creation and adoption of a constructed language, based on existing Nigerian languages, as our official language, would you be in support or against? Why? Note: A constructed language is a language--such as Esperanto, Klingon, and Dothraki--that has been consciously created by an individual or group. |

A natural language like Hausa will do just fine |

illicit: Hausa would have been perfect, but, to me, it will not serve well as a language to build a national identity. Which, I feel, is the main purpose of an official language |

WoeBetide666: Why not It's the most widely spoken language in Nigeria There's no where in Nigeria where it's not spoken even by non Hausas |

BossGerald: Do u have any tangible for picking Yoruba and Igbo over Hausa U think it's tribal competition |
Re: A Constructed Language As Nigeria's Official Language by EmeeNaka: 8:13pm On Jan 07 |
Hausa,Yoruba and Igbo will make a good national languages for their respective regions. 1 Like |

illicit: Nawa oo, your mind is conditioned to perceive any opposition view as tribalism and i cannot help you, must everything go your way?? You chose hausa as official language and I suggested we add yoruba and igbo too, vooom you're shouting the only thing you know- tribalism. So many countries have more than three official languages incase you don't know. |
