Who else noticed the growing numbers of rhotacism among yoruba youths?
I know it is all over the place but its common among the yorubas.
Artistes like bella shmurda and naira marley has it.
They cant roll thier tongues while pronouncing the letter "R".
For instance: Naigha marley is a goal. Instead of naira marley is a goal.

Another example: (bella shmurda) dont you say goodbye my Fghend (friend). Pls whats the cause?

NO TRIBALISM INTENDED.

Some of them are not real. It's a trending style these days.

I observed it too

Hahhahh

It is a speech impediment they have no control over, right from their childhood and it cuts across tribes.

I said NO TRIBALISM

It's actually peculiar to Lagosians

However in linguistics it's a common phenomena among all language speakers to have one defect or the other

Some ibos pronounce 'r' sound as 'L' for example some ibos can't say 'mpuru miri' rather they will say 'mpulu mili'

No. That’s Lagos accent. We can’t pronounce R in our dialect. So if you learnt Yoruba from a Lagos indigene, you likely will have that issue. Same with the French.

Tribalism is allowed, that's why seun and his mods allowed threads like this

Any small thing you'd call Igbos...
The example you gave for Igbo is called lateralization... Whereas the OP is talking about rhotacizing

Stick to topic!!!
