The world’s most endangered language, with only one speaker, is N|uu, spoken by the ǂKhomani people from the southern Kalahari in South Africa. The sole fluent speaker is Ouma Katrina Esau. This language, which has existed for over 20,000 years, has nearly vanished due to historical suppression and the impacts of colonialism and apartheid.
This highlights the importance of continually emphasizing the use of Igbo with pride, ensuring that our beautiful language will never face a similar fate.
