Chief Edison Biliki of Susuka village, Choiseul Province is appealing to all native Ririo tribes not to sit and watch while their mother tongue, the Ririo language becomes extinct.
The Riokana tribal Chief says if nothing is done about it, Ririo language will be wiped out of the face of the earth within the next five to 10 years.
“We should be very careful because within the next five to 10 years there will be no Ririo, so very soon we will lose our identity especially in the Ririo.”
