Ekealterego: Interesting. So "Ufu" is a dialectical variance of "Uru" and "Uhu" ? |

SlayerForever: That's all languages. Look at English for instance too... Funny enough, a few days ago, I listened to some old village rendition from Agulu, recorded around 1911 by Northcorte.... It will be interesting to have someone from Agulu examine how the dialect have changed. Although 1911 is just about 110 years ago though. Some of us must have witnessed great-grandfathers speak. 4 Likes |

Igboid:I don't see anything wrong here. Take my own dialect (still in Anambra, to show that it is not a state something) for example, we use "Ihe" but right now I have siblings bearing "Ife" It is funny because we have an old generation "Iheoma" with a new generation "Ifeanyi" in the same family.

Ekealterego: My grandfather when we were small during Xmas when my cousins all come back for Xmas and we play and make noise laughing loud and merrying would usually leave his room and come to ours and peep in and say: "Kee Ife unu na-ekpolili ufala ka unu ewinugo poolu". This expression means "why are you people rejoicing like you have won a bet". I don't think any young person in my place will make that expression that way in modern times. They would probably say: "Kedu Ife unu enwelu añuli ka unu enwinugo Visa Amerika" This is language evolution. 4 Likes |

SlayerForever: Exactly. We are coalescing. But many clannish people don't like this. They are usually too invested in seeing the influence of other Igbo clans on their own clan, without paying interest to how their own clan are influencing others. Let me invoke one of them.

Igboid:You mean "Ochucho"? "Afifia" becomes, "Efifia". I just know that many of the "A"s you see in general Igbo or even existing in the spellings of their names, they pronounce it as "E". "Arochukwu", becomes, "Enruchukwu", Abiriba = Ebiriba I know they will call, "Akoli" or "Ozuakoli" as "Ekoli or Ozuekoli" Not all words though, I know "Abam" is still "Abam 1 Like |

Ekealterego: I'm looking at "Ipu". Like: mkpuru osisi na-epu. To sprout/germinate/grow. I'm interested in what they call it over there. Yes I Know about the A to E switch. They have it in most Enugu dialects to. Abuo is ebuo/ebuno in Nkanu(Enugu dialect) Ato is Eto Efele (plate) is "Afere" in Nkanu Efe (Cloth ) is "Afe" in Nkanu Aka( hand) is Eka. Akwu( Palm fruit) is Ekwu Many Igbo dialects have that A to E and vice versa switch. I know that in Bende area, they have this Gwe to Gwo switch. For example "Igwe" is actually pronounced as "Igwo" by some Bende clans,but for sake of pan Igboism, they will still spell it as "Igwe". 3 Likes |

thatigboman1: I think it may be a carryover from precolonial era where Igbo communities were strongly autonomous. Hence, the name ndị Igbo would be used to refer to other communities outside one's own. Check this scenario. A mysterious stranger, perhaps having the appearance of a great dibịa, is coming into the community and he is stopped at the boundary. From interrogation he is obviously a fellow Igbo but a stranger nonetheless. While reporting about the stranger's arrival to the King or elders, the guards would invariably say, "ọ nwe ofu onye Igbo bịara.....". Listening to them one may be confused to think, "are the people not also Igbo?" . You get? 4 Likes |

kmcutez: If I ask you what Obiaka means in Isoko now you will feel offended. If I ask you to write down your language here you will write something liking to Igbo. Okay, no problem though, be Isoko. If the rest of the communities fall under Rivers state it is likely they are all Ndoni people, on both sides of the river. 1 Like |

thatigboman1:It is normal. I'm from Anam in Anambra West LGA of Anambra State. Because we are riverine area dwellers, we refer to the Igbos from the hinterlands as Ndigbo. This does not in anyway suggest that we don't see ourselves as Igbos. We are very proud of our Igboness. I think this is habit that is common to all the riverine Igbos because, Similar habit is also common among the indigenes of Onitsha. 5 Likes |
