Nigerians Is There A Word For Carribeans In Our Languages? by flowerpower23(f): 8:32pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
Is there a word for Caribbeans in any of our languages? Particularly, Yoruba or Igbo? I know akata refers to African Americans and so I was wondering if there were any words that refer to the Caribbean of the Diaspora. I think there was a word involving the sugar they had to pick but I'm not sure. |

flowerpower23: Speaking for the Igbo, I would say, No. There's no word for them in the language. 1 Like |
