And no, I'm not translating. I read thru the entire thread like a 4year old testing his reading ability and I have to say I found Odumchi's dialect more comprehensible, why? I'm hoping someone will tell me. I hope this thread is just about demonstrating our various dialects, if its not then I think it wont go very far without translations considering how difficult it is to make sense of some dialects.

In fact, the only dialects I understood very well were yours (Aboh) and Andre's (Isinweke).

@Wesley, thanks for joining this thread. Am interested in your dialect as my uncle's wife is from there.

I know it won't be long before he will derail an Igbo thread again. I opened an Ngwa thread for him to write whichever way he chooses to write with his fellow Ngwa but it seems like he will always carry on with his behaviour, derailing every Igbo thread. If he should write in Ngwa, he should do so with Igbo orthography so that others could read it. It's too rude of him to continue this way.

It's like writing Nedu210 3rd line:
Iya, ndụ ibe anyi na ekene 'ndaa', echekwe m shọọ sọsọ ndụ ibeanyi na ekene ndaa, Mana mgben ahụgwo m na ọbụhụ sọọ anyi.

as this:
..., nduh bay arnyih nah akenay 'ndar', atceh quem shaw sausor nduh ebay arnyi nah akenay ndar, marnah ... ar hoogwoe m nah awboohu saw arnyih

It doesn't make sense at all.

Mbarezi or Eberezi means compound. It is widely used in Isinweke and Umuahia areas that share border with Isinweke. The question was if anyone in your compound is taking part in the olympic games 2012, in London.

Umm, anyị na-ekwu "mbara" ma ọbụ "ezi".
