The Yorùbá Name online dictionary is a dynamic site, reflecting the constant flow of updates suggested by users as well as new input from on-the-ground research. So far, their focus has been somewhat Nigeria-centric, with a bit of Beninese influence, of which Laila’s French background has been notably felt, but their hope is that curious minds and knowledgeable strangers from all over the world will benefit from and possibly contribute to the site. For this to happen, they plan to translate the platform into several languages including Yorùbá, French and Portuguese.

THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE YORUBA LANGUAGE | PROF. FAKINLEDE
Our language is our pathway to the transfer of knowledge from one generation to another. Losing our ability to communicate effectively with it means losing connectivity with our valuable past: the science, technology; medicine, philosophy, wisdom, literature, history; religion, etc. of our forebears. It means losing the economic advantages that derives from a language.
