Friendly Promotion: A Dictionary of Yoruba Names

Somebody I know in person (actually, it’s that friend in Nigeria I mentioned the other day) is organizing the following great project:

A web-based, crowd-sourced, multimedia dictionary of Yoruba names.

This project seeks to create an online multimedia database of all Yoruba names; a place of knowledge for those who need it. People removed from their homeland can look to it and find a lost connection while those not familiar with the Yoruba culture can come there to learn about Yoruba names, spelling, etymology, meanings, stories, et al; a wiki of sorts, a free web-based multimedia repository of knowledge open to all; a dictionary; a project designed to reverse a trend and preserve a culture. 

If you want to know more about the dictionary or how you can help

    1. I especially like the “world should have the same reaction” in the title. As we say, don’t tell me what I should do and I won’t tell you where you should go. 🙂
