Govt harmonises orthographies of four local languages

MONDAY, 01 OCTOBER 2012
Nigeria

TO advance the teaching and learning of indigenous languages and to
preserve the nation’s culture and heritage, the standardised and harmonised
orthographies of four local languages will be effectively used by teachers,
researchers and students.

Minister of State for Education, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, disclosed this during
the handover of the harmonised and standardised orthographies of four
Nigerian and other related languages at the weekend.

According to him, orthography helps in the preservation of local languages
by making them amenable to further improvement through research and
documentation.
