well, since everyone wants to have their little language thread, here is mine. if you can read, write, and speak english. this thread is for you. if you are igbo, yoruba, hausa or whatever and don't read, write or understand your "language" because your parents failed to teach it to you or because you never cared about learning it, this is the place for you. Or if you are tired of trying to understand what others are saying on NL because you dont speak the language, come here. everyone and anyone is invited so that way, we don't leave or miss anyone. and yes that includes the non- nigerians as well.

LMAO!!!! GURL!!! YOU TOO CRAZY!!! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?


AND DIS AINT JUST FOR BRITISH ENGLISH, THIS IS AMERICAN, AUSTRALIAN, ETC ENGLISH THREAD. ALL DIALECTS THREAD.

Since English aint a tribal language, do we get to talk about England or anything partaining to English speakers world wide?

there u go, that's what i'm talking about. no one is left out. and also, dont try to polute this thread with other languages trying to be funny cuz i know someone stupid will.

lets keep our fingers crossed.

I like the English language because it's so. .   . . . . . . . .general. hmmm,,,<grins>

I love english , I studied english

talk about anything or anyone as long as it is in english.

Yeah I heard English is so popular, it's actually the official language used around the board on a forum called Nairaland. There's even broken versions of it for others who it's not a first language for. aint dat cool?

naija_diva:

oh!!! kinda like the rest of the forum minus the culture section. <rubs chin and grins>

if it was up to me, i would get the adm. guy to remove those that poluted this ENGLISH board and made it international. lol. i'm just playing, i love how we have differents lauguages and cultures. thats what makes us different from other people/country.

If this is a veiled attack on Nairalanders embracing their native dialect, then this is silly. English still remains a common language among Nigerians if you must communicate effectively with everyone, but Nairalanders should not be ashamed of embracing their local dialects if need be. If you don't understand the few times such languages are used, you ask and learn. No apologies to you for been proud of our heritage. Na wa for you, nwata nwanyi!!!

em is pidgin English allowed?

debosky:

sure it is!! it's still english i MY book!!

@blackmamba
don't get all serious about it. I don'tt see it da same way ur seeing it. I think you've already done wat the thread starter wanted all along. . . . . . to write in English. dis shud be interesting <grin> so don't feel attacked, it's just fun, da way i see it. more like funny, cuz the entire forum is in English, except for the culture section, which a good amount of posts there is in english . . . . .so, you see what i'm saying?
Don't get mad or offended, just post in english in this particular thread or leave it alone entirely.

Well, this thread IS different, interesting.

I can't speak my dads language, and struggle with pidgin English, though I understand both perfectly.

if you want to speak another language, go ahead in the hausa/yoruba/igbo section. this topic was made for people who doen;t understand any nigerian language and it was made for fun so don't get all defensive. and by the way, who said i was ashamed (if that word even exsist in my dictionary) of the nigerian culture/language.

If you don't understand the few times such languages are used, you ask and learn.

okay, i will. i just need you to translate the igbo thread for me which is about 350 pages.

Honey, to answer your question, I'm a college student. And no I didn't skip high school, neither did I quit. You see, it's people like you that make me want to change my major to psychiatry so that I can help them resolve and handle the anger management problems. Apparently, you feel as if the world is attacking you, but obviously, that isn't the case. The real problem is YOU! You have low self-esteem therefore feel that if you put others down, you may feel better about yourself, but I'm here to tell you that's not the way. Now go to that mirror and look at yourself and proudly say "I AM SOMEBODY!!!"

you're even proud to proclaim that's your personality. Dat's a damn shame. hmm hmm hmm.  and so so sad

can yall teach me how to write and how to speak without cursing?

you just did it but for farther accomplishment. write your words/sentences out, then erase the curse words and you straight.

its like am under a spell without the cursing,right now am writing without cursing and is iching my body,i know i spell iching wrong.

@naijadiva
A greater invitation to send you an email I do not know.

So this diva better be expecting mail from me.

Hope it don't get lost in translation
