A look at countries that have develop, all have their language intact. They are either monolingual or have one local official language. Native language play key role in the development of a nation. It's sad that we prefer English (a foreign language) as our official language yo our own.

@Truthfully,Those countries did not wait for any white man to come to their shores, learn their language and put it into wrting for them. The Chinese , Koreans. Japanese etc developed their system of wrtting before they met the white man. In our case ,
It took Johan Gottlieb Christaller to come to our shores learn Fante and Akuapem Twi a d put it into writting for us. Our useless chiefs were busy slave raiding and trading and killing thousands every year to please their River gods such as Tano, Antoa, Subin, Asuoyeboa etc. Over 300 million pepple in China study the English language every effing year. Enough of all the nonsense about native crap. What is the name of Physics Biology, Chromosome, Amoeba or Bacteria in my native Twi?

I agree with you, Tepahene. Not only cultural identity but also national development and identity. We were richer than most of these south East Asian nations in the past. But look at them now. They all use their own languages and are now making the west shiver with their fast developments. They use their own language for everything. We scorn at people who can’t speak English well but excuse people who can’t speak their own language. The Chinese, Jews, Indians and others teach their children to speak their language in the UK but our people speak their diluted English to their children at home. Always init? init?
