Help With The Wawa Dialect Of Igbo by EzeEfuna(m): 6:21pm On Apr 30, 2015
Although I am from Onitsha, I am maternally from Iwollo Oghe, Enugu State. Growing up, I only heard the Onitsha dialect, as my mom and dad only spoke Onitsha Igbo to me. So consequentially, I only know Onitsha dialect (To an extent). Now, I wish to know a bit more about Wawa dialect. I only know one sentence in dialect.

Ndee ahwa ghi? (What is your name?)
Note: I don't know the letter to place for the h/f in afa, as it has a certain pronunciation that I can't really put into letters.

So yes, please tell me any phrases that you know in the Wawa Dialect, I'm eager to learn.
