- Abstract
This chapter, based on four sets of questionnaires and interviews dated 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2017, seeks to evaluate the impact of the language of Nigerian films on their reception among diasporic communities in the UK in the context of recently expressed fears concerning the future of Nigerian languages abroad. It investigates the degree of influence of language on viewers' motivations and practices, the role played by the cultural message of the language in identityreinforcement within the Nigerian community in diaspora, and the potential impact of these films on the revival of language and cultural practices among resettled communities.
