Pidgin english is the only language where question and answer can be the same. Eg:Q- Eba dey? A- Eba dey.. Q- Mummy dey house? A- Mummy dey house. Please post your own if you are a nigerian, 9 Likes |

It is also the same in Russian language to some extent. The difference is that in pidgin English we stress the last words (syllable?) to differentiate a question from a sentence, while in Russian the stress starts with the very first word of the sentence. 1 Like |

Don't agree, its almost in all languages I know. In colloquial English, if you ask, "Mum at Home?" The answer could be "Mum, at home". It depends on where you paused and the physical gesture that accompanied your response 3 Likes |
