Hi, I am Nkem Osuigwe, a Nigerian. You may want to speak with Olusola Olaniyan, the President, Wikimedia User Group. He is doing a project on preservation of indigenous languages and this is important in Nigeria where we have close to 500 spoken languages and quite a number on Wikipedia. I have copied Olusola to this mail.
