my parents speak Yoruba to each other on a normal day... but when relatives come around,the Ijesha dialect is the language that reigns supreme because they are both ijesha's

My parents were seperated when I was a year Old.I really don't know how they were communicating.Its been living with either parents at different Times till I became a full grown man,living on my own.
By the way, How does it feel Living under the same roof with your parents?its one opportunity I missed in Life.
Too Bad !
I really feel for you. It's one great opportunity that you missed. Please bro, strive against all odds not to deprive your children of that wonderful priviledge. Back to the question, they speak plain Yoruba and Ijesa dialect if we want to go deep

It depends on their mood. When Dad/Mom is upset or not satisfied about something, they communicate in English, but on a normal day, it's yoruba or Igbo

Dad and mum speaks the general yoruba and that applies to we the children. But if there are strangers, Mum speaks akure dialect and we understand that very well but can hardly speak. I have never heard Dad speaks His own dialect . (Igbona) from igbomina part of kwara state.
Re: What Language Do Your Parents Speak To Eachother by Nobody: 3:16pm On Sep 13, 2013
REALITY101: Igbo/French.. Igbo especially whenever they are talking about something they don't want me and my baby bro to know about. That was back when we were young tho.
Guess such trick doesnt work for them again cheesy
Re: What Language Do Your Parents Speak To Eachother by Nobody: 3:22pm On Sep 13, 2013
Afam4eva: My parents speak Nkanu Igbo to themselves and speak same to us.
Guess this nkanu has a way of sticking to the tongue.
Recall a hostelmate in sec. school that speaks that all the time.
Has a funny way of pronouncing some igbo words like anya(eye) is enya etc
We make fun of him yet he's undeterred cheesy
