The evolution of language is amazing. Despite the fact that "Osebuluwa" or "ose/osa/olisa/oliseh" is not as popular as it used to be (in terms of speech use), it can still be found in the dialects of certain groups. For example if you see the Onicha people, who I believe don't say "Chukwu", you'll notice how sound their dialect is. Onicha was originally the dialect in which Christian books, prayers, and etc were printed in, making it a widely read dialect. When I observe people praying in Igbo (I mean mouthing of formal prayers), I often notice that they speak Onicha dialect and often use "Osebuluwa" instead of "Chukwu", despite the fact that Chukwu is central Igbo. So in short, religion has had a hand in the dialectal scheme. |

Evolution of language isn't even the right word for it; loss of speech is. This topic gets me upset. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by odumchi: 1:39am On Dec 07, 2011 |
ChinenyeN: Why? |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 3:36am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Because I witness it right before my eyes. Thankfully, people have wised up and have decided to take proper courses of action, and rightfully so, if I should say so myself. |

wesley80: You can take the ukwuani language and shove it. I'm Igbo before anything and dont give 2 craps abt your superior/inferior complex towards other Igbos. When self hating Igbos like yourself accept reality,COMPLETELY then we will be better off and get our Anioma state. although im aware of your opposition to anioma state. Keep it up. Never take me as a brother because I'm Ukwuani as long as you dont see other Igbos as brothers it is F U. Remember I said that. Ngwa nu nu. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 6:13am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Chyz*:lol I wonder how many people actually think like this. . . or should I say, I wonder how pervasive this thought pattern is. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by Chyz2: 6:20am On Dec 07, 2011 |
ChinenyeN: Doesn't really matter. As long as you, him, me are in this nigeria we are Igbo before anything. Nothing like clan nonsense when we are all suffering d same . . . Now when out of nigeria then maybe. . . |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 6:33am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Chyz*:ii tu i ji d'aka |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 6:35am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Anyway, this is a topic for speech, and not about Nigeria or any kind of "Igbo before anything" discussion. So, in commencing with such, I have updated the list. Updated List Aro Isinweke Ugbo Onicha Abiriba Owere Item Agbor Nsuka Nkanu Ikwere Riverine/Ukwuani/Oguta/Oru Idemili Elai Isiala Mbano Ohafia Ututu Awka Aboh ni Ndoni Any more representatives? |

The only name i knw that refered to as GOD is chukwu and obasi in some dialect mostly in enugu. Other mame like olisebuluwa which means the force that is carrying and sustaining the universe. Igwe means the most high. And others are praise name 4 chukwu or chi-ukwu the great CHI GOD |
Re: Igbo Dialects by pazienza(m): 12:35pm On Dec 07, 2011 |
Obiagu1: I don't know for other parts of anambra,but in Ogidi-idemili you don't necessary have to say 'anago', ana can still be used,infact we have a way of shortening words here,for example,chukwuma becomes chuma,akwukwo becomes aakwo,etc. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by nedu210(m): 12:41am On Dec 12, 2011 |

I take it we have no more representatives. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by NRIPRIEST(m): 11:06pm On Dec 18, 2011 |
every dialect of IGBO has not been represented! And whats the rush if I may ask ? |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 4:45am On Dec 19, 2011 |
No rush. Just disappointed at the lack of activity and the lack of diverse input. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by odumchi: 5:21am On Dec 19, 2011 |

Re: Igbo Dialects by odumchi: 6:43am On Dec 19, 2011 |
Yeah you're close however they're in Arochukwu LGA. The dialects of Aro, Ihe, Ututu and others in that zone are very similar. Here's Arondizuogu dialect notice how it doesn't resemble Arochukwu. How are you Ele otu idi? Do you want to eat now? Ichowala irli nni ha? What's your name? K'eten aha gi? |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 6:58am On Dec 19, 2011 |

Alj_Harem, Jason; No one said anything about writing Yoruba. Your posts are not welcomed here. |

ChinenyeN: That is Olukumi and according to Chyz, they are Igbos. Hence, its inclusion. Olukumi Ayo: Joy Ola: Wealth Ekaro: Good morning |
Re: Igbo Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 10:22pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
I'll repeat, no one said anything about writing Yoruba. If you have some kind of discourse or issue with Chyz or any others, then continue it in whatever Olokumi thread you all were discussing in. Don't bring that s.hit here. It isn't welcome. |
Re: Igbo Dialects by jason123: 10:25pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
ChinenyeN: I will leave the thread. Was just trying to show chyz how ridiculous the claim is. My bad. |
