One could speak one's dialect very well. But learning to pray in one's dialect is a whole different exercise one needs to learn. Just as it is in English, when you pray, there are certain words, dictions and phrases you use. You say certain things a certain way. Its a skill you gain over the course of many prayer practices in English. That's the same way it is in one's native tongue. Its an exercise you have to learn.

ZACHIE: when the matter catch you properly, you go hala in your MAMA tongue.

This na serious matter.

I pray in English but when I'm at a loss for words,I turn evrythn to Yoruba!

Yes, in Igbo. And also in Yoruba too.
Praising God in Yoruba while praying is awesome.

The best way to communicate with my creator is thru' m local dialect. OLUWA DARA

na Mawu ni no he Nigeria tome po gbeto de te me lee po (niii se!) meaning may the Lord be with Nigeria and the people therein (amen).

My quuestion for op

How do you want most northerners and the Arab Christian to pray to God when the translation of God in their language is Allah and some Christian said their God is different from Allah

Dagwei asi rwat dats in birom language

I think its depend on the environment one was brought up.


for example
Aba,Ibadan (local dialet is like official) where on like lagos and abuja(national language is official cos of mixed tribes)

Dolly-Parton:

Prayer is a feeling,not communication to any God....stop being silly!

Can't pray in Delta Ibo which is mine but only in yoruba. Can speak ibo sha.

As the spirit leads. irrespective of the language God is faithfully and just he does not dicriminate. but using ur dialet will help u communicate better.

Lol.... Hardly do it ooh. Either in Yoruba or Yagba... Oh, I remember how well we were brought up praying with Yagba,.. Buh along the line.....

God gave us a language, and i think he would want us to talk to him with that language. He gave different languages to different people for a purpose
