Why Do Igbos Pronounce English Words Incorrectly?? by Amandobolt(m): 8:41am On Dec 04, 2013 |
I'm an Igbo from Anambra state (MOD take note!! don't ban me), I grew up in a foreign country. I'm now in skul here sha... dis mispronunciation of a tin among Anambarians is just irritating. You'll see a fine nwa baby blowing wrong grammar like.....pronouncing "rag" as "lag", "problem" as "plobrem", "direct" as "dilet". my fellow Igbo people, what can be the cause of this problem?? 1 Like |

It still remains a mystery and transends from generation to generation. BUT be mindful that it is not only applicable to Anambra people, other tribes and state has theirs too. E.g an Hausa guy will pronounce P for F and F for P : e.g : (Frofer for Proper, Pellow for Fellow) and so on WHILE a YORUBA guy will add H to every other words e.g to say (INCREASE a Yoruba guy will say HINCREASE. OUR for HOUR, ATE for HATE)..........................so its a Nigerian stuff. even the calabas has their own language issues too. May be we need to consult Ifa for a solution. 1 Like |
