understands what you are saying? On ocassion, I have been in a group of people who only speak English. Two of my Nigerian friends, who speak perfect English speak Igbo to each other whilst standing in the group. No one knows what they are saying. I think it's rude, especially when they start laughing at a private joke. What do you think?  |

Hehehe, its kinda funny. It reminds me when I was with my Ghanaian dude and he speaks to is family on the phone. I know he's not talking about me but kinda makes me giggle, I don't know hwy though. I guess that's the beauty of language. |

Inked_Nerd:Thank you! Speak your lang anywhere and whoever feels left out has the option to learn the lang. No Oyinbo man want to speak in our languages, we are the one who always find faults in our things. |

I never really understood why people got so offended over this. There is no rudeness in it. Na ya language. Yu speak am. All these oversensitive people talking about rudeness. If I were allowed to go out of my way and assume anything, I would assume that some people are just exhibiting a subtle level of paranoia over this topic. |
