Chinny stated that Igbo language is one of the endangered and disappearing languages of the world.
The habitual problem of Igbos choosing English as the language of communication even when talking to a fellow Igbo person is one of our greatest mistake and the consequence is that in a few decades when our language is lost, the next generation Igbos will have to relearn the language of our forefathers' she says.
