Yes, an obvious infussion of foreign languages(pidgin english,slangs etc) and cultures.Total adulteration of the Yoruba language but EXTINCTION..........NO!!
Yoruba is a widely spoken language with a culture embedded with everlasting values.The Yorubas are at home in Nigeria,Togo,Benin,Ivory Coast,Brazil,Cuba,Porto Rico to mention but a few.Extinction is way far from it!
