Yes, Yoruba will be as it combines words of Aramaic, ancient Egyptian and Atlantis.

There are lot of Yoruba names/words in Spanish, e.g, Ola, Lola, Lara, etc; in Turkish/Russian, e.g Lolu, Akin, etc; in English, e.g me for 'mi', yawn for 'yan', etc.

Most importantly, foreigners are learning the language. One of the languages of religion/culture in the Caribbeans and South America. The main indigenous language mix-up of Pidgin. The music language of Nigeria and beyond. If you're in the West of River Niger and you don't understand it, you are on your own.

I will always doubt the paternity of Yoruba-born individual that can't speak the language! Just as every Yoruba man is born spiritual, the language is part of Yoruba spirituality and it can never die until the world is no more. Yoruba (Anago, Olukumi) slaves in the Americas never let go of their Yoruba language and culture!

Again, in the S/West most people communicate in Yoruba language instead of Pidgin or English to carry out their daily activities.

Which Language?
Re: Will Your Language Still Be In Existence In The Next One THOUSAND Years?? by Nobody: 12:52pm On Oct 11, 2017
Amharic language
- The de facto language of Ethiopia
- One of the over 85 languages in Ethiopia

• It may exist, but I'm pretty sure that it won't look like the current form. Language borrow and lend words, so Amharic will be affected by this.

Do you speak the language?

It is the Isoko language. We are few and many of the new generation cannot even understand the language talk less of speaking it. Isoko is dying.
