How Well Do You Understand Other Dialect Of Your Language? by Efewestern: 6:22pm On Aug 28, 2017 |
How Well do you understand other Dialect of your language? URHOBO: The urhobo language is spoken in Delta State and Some part of Bayelsa. below are some dialect of urhobo I understand. General Urhobo : This is the urhobo generally accepted by everyone Uvwie : the uvwie dialect is spoken in Places like Ekpan, Effurun, Ebrumede e. tc, I clearly understand this dialect even thou am not that perfect, I can communicate clearly with it (Novice thou). Dialect I Find Difficult to Understand; Isoko: although the Isoko dialect is a language on it's own, it still remains a branch of the urhobo language. Okpe: The okpe Dialect is like Spanish to some of us, even fratermathy can't decode it without counting the words , the dialect Is closely related to Uvwie and Isoko than general urhobo language. Fratermathy and Sanchez01 how well do you understand other urhobo dialect? Onuwaje, since itsekiri has one dialect, how well do you understand ondo and ijebu language? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Though there is a "general Yoruba" language (general cos it is the accepted Yoruba language for literature), there are many dialects that I hardly understand if spoken. eg Egba, Ijebu, Akoko, awori, Ilaje and few others I can't recollect. There are some that I can understand to an extent, eg Ondo, Sarki, Owo. But anytime and anyday, Yoruba dialects of Ife, Oyo, Ijesha, Ekiti, I will surely understand wherever they are spoken. 2 Likes |

Tolexander: Ilaje is entirely different from general Yoruba language, I think it's more closer to Itsekiri, so that's the reason you don't understand it. how is ijebu dialect like? , I heard it's like Chinese to some of you. |
Re: How Well Do You Understand Other Dialect Of Your Language? by Sanchez01: 7:31pm On Aug 28, 2017 |
Efewestern:The Okpe part though. I understand Uvwie perfectly but can't speak it. That of Okpe... Oh well, it's like German because Spanish is even simpler to learn I understand Isoko quite well even though I can't speak it at all. |

Efewestern:when I was in Sapele/Oghara area although I didn't pick up much because most people were bilingual in pidgin English. The generally acceptable Urhobo was that from Ughelli. Closer to written Urhobo. People from Oghara/Mosogar/Jese tend to speak a certain dialect while Okpe(Sapele) according to many is an entirely different language. Okpe people understand spoken Urhobo but not so in reverse. I went to somewhere in Isoko with some Urhobo friends then and they conversed in pidgin with the natives. I think abraka is another area with a different dialect cluster. |
Re: How Well Do You Understand Other Dialect Of Your Language? by Efewestern: 7:59pm On Aug 28, 2017 |
Eke40seven: Abraka dialect is not hard to understand if you can understand ughelli, The okpe dialect is like French to me, in fact I don't understand any shit. lol.. |

Efewestern:The Ijebu variation of the Yoruba language is quite funny. You wouldn't have issues understanding it if you indeed understand the Yoruba language. |

Sanchez01: you are just deluding yourself, believe me. . even oga fratermathy don't understand uvwie and isoko. you one form king Kong for here, you make stay lag. If you can understand uvwie and isoko, then you can understand okpe, Have you listen to some core isoko language?, believe me you won't pick a word. . |
Re: How Well Do You Understand Other Dialect Of Your Language? by Sanchez01: 8:14pm On Aug 28, 2017 |
Efewestern:Lol. I grew up in a complex society in my formative years with the Ilajes, Hausas, Ijaws, Ghanaians and a few Urhobo folks. Interestingly, I bloomed late when I should have started talking. It was more of confusion for me at the time. The funniest part came years later because I could clearly understand them and respond in pidgin or English. Mostly pure English because I can barely speak pidgin for five straight minutes I understand Isoko quite well. By the way, is Uvwie the same as Ughweru? Not sure if I got that correctly. |
