Linguicide In Nigeria: Consequences of Marginalized Indigenous Languages

Abstract

This study x-rays language death in Nigeria as a result of unjust marginalization against the country’s indigenous languages. It goes on to point out those responsible for this marginalization and suggests some possible remedial strategies to curb the already existing anomaly. The paper goes further to lament the extinction route most of our indigenous languages are already towing and proposes proper promotion of our indigenous languages both in the homes, in the schools, and in the society at large.
