Goodboiyy:What part of urhobo is ur mum from? Is she uvwie? Most people from the "core urhobo" speaking part of delta, finds it difficult to understand d okpe dialect. But experience uvwie speakers understands okpe. I do understand okpe because of my solid uvwie speaking background, though I can't speak okpe. Funnily, d okpe and uvwie people understands urhobo, but they may find it hard to speak d urhobo language except those who have mixed up wit d urhobos or stayed in a urhobo speaking area like ughelli, abraka etc But d udu/ujenwe dialect of urhobo is tough, even people who can speak d urhobo finds it extremely hard to understand udu. |

LKO: My mom is from Agbon clan. I hear the uvwie dialect of urhobo a little, cous that were I grew up, But the Okpe chai, That dialect Hard nor b small. 4 sure they understand the Urhobo very well cous they too are urhobo, And during church Mass they use Urhobo Generally not uvwie or Okpe At d bolded. We have the light And Core Udu/Ujenwe , If they speak the light one I do hear, but wen they start to speak to core once, I hear nothing. I think The Original Urhobo dialect is fast Taking over All of them. #God bless the urhobo nation 1 Like |
