otopxy: I think "invaders" or so.. They were fond of putting on masks trying to invade SW. They often got away with it till I think Moremi through marriage infiltrated their ranks and had them chased away for good. 1 Like |

Igbo is the tribe while ibo is the language. |

It's both. You're still using English language (latin characters) to write the name, so it doesn't matter, since the English writing can only be an approximation of how it's actually pronounced. Of course, depending on where the speaker is from it could sound more like IGbo (strong G), or igBO (where the g is barely audible), but very rarely Ibo (which is more like igBO). Details about how it's spelled when talking about the people vs the language are just historical artifacts. Personally, I prefer Igbo (since it's truer to the sound) 1 Like |

Aldebaran: Ìgbò – Tribe or people group ìgbó – weed Though they are spelt the same way, the pronunciation sets them apart so they can't be confused when spoken. |
