Chemehuevi is spoken in my state (AZ). I'm all for it.

What about Chemehuevi? Or Njerep?
I am serious. It doesn't really matter
which one. For expediency only it should
be English or Basic English.

Hi,

I vote for Njerep.
It is the only language in Nigeria that is not used for corruption or other
criminality [because it is nearly-extinct.]

Choosing a language because it is a language always cause us problems.
