Abstract

Yoruba language in Nigeria is one of the several languages of the world that face extinction, and proverbs are an important component of languages, especially Yoruba language. A good mastery of Yoruba proverbs is an indication that the speaker has an in-depth knowledge of the language. However, the current generation of Yoruba youths do not understand the proverbs in the language let alone how to use them in their writings and speeches. Hence, there is a need to preserve the proverbs in the language for these young and future generations in a bid to ensure continuity and prevent the extinction that looms over these proverbs. Towards preserving these proverbs and ultimately preserving the language, an Android-based Yoruba language proverbs preservatory and repository system was developed and its success evaluated majorly among the age groups that need to learn them based on DeLone and Mclean Success Model. The results show that the system was successful. This means that systems of this nature can be used as a platform for the young and future generations to learn Yoruba proverbs and their usage towards ultimately preserving the language and removing the extinction that looms over it.
