I understand the deep rivalry between this two people. I understand it is deeply rooted in our DNAs growing up how we hate each other.
But I'm not also unmindful of the fact that we can let love reign supreme. I don't care about the hate or rivalry, I just want to learn.

To be Jewish, your mother has to be Jewish and not necessarily your father.

That is the real definition of mother tongue.

IGBO LANGUAGE ALPHABET:

There are 36 alphabets in Igbo language. Pronunciation of each alphabet is the same as when it appears in any word as a letter, although they sound longer or are stretched a bit more as alphabets. Don't you think that makes Igbo language quite easy? I think so too!

I am going to list the Igbo alphabets so you can have a glance at all of them, get a bit familiar with them.

The Igbo alphabets, in the right order, appear thus:-

The upper and lower cases are separated by a comma.


A,a

B,b

CH,ch

D,d

E,e

F,f

G,g

GB,gb

GH,gh

GW,gw

H,h

I,i

ị,ị

J,j

K,k

KP,kp

KW,kw

L,l

M,m

N,n

Ṅ,ṅ

NW,nw

NY,ny

O,o

Ọ,ọ

P,p

R,r

S,s

SH,sh

T,t

U,u

Ụ,ụ

V,v

W,w

Y,y

Z,z.

Nonsense. Western world term, coined by a society of single mothers and irresponsible men.
To tell you how stupid this term "mother tongue" is, if say an Hausa man(or any other tribal man) marries a yoruba or ibo woman, can the wife have the effrontery to raise the children as yoruba or ibo? No, that can only happen in those miserable single mother homes
