Read somewhere Igbo language will be extinct in the next 100 years. The evidence are there, parents only speak English to their kids I also noticed recently especially celebrities no one is naming their kid African names anymore. |

When you speak Yoruba to a Yoruba speaker and make mistake, Yoruba are happy you tried. Same with someone speaking Spanish to a native Spanish speaker. Igbo on the other hand are quick to mock you and even criticize. How then can others want to learn it... |

WhoRUDeceiving: yes it's quite annoying but u must understand that igbo is a tonal language, and one word can mean more than one thing eg akwa(clothe), akwa (egg), akwa (cry). it all depends on the tones, and if gotten wrongly could be pretty funny and quite discouraging to the learner. but that is not enough excuse not to learn tho, I myself never cared. |
