Language issues are an important aspect of a culture and it is our duty to see that languages are maintained and that their survival is not threatened by other languages as is the case of Africa. This is an academic work which illustrates the effects of the use of English as a medium of instruction.

This is causing other language's survival to be threatened while others are already dying.
