Onye ahu si mu 'nshi' m marala na o ma aburiri onye Imo. Andre Uweh: @Odumchi, most Isiala Mbano speak same dialect. But Ehime is different. In Ehime Mbano, communities such as Nsu,Nzerem and Umunumu speak the same dialect spoken in Isinweke/Obowu axis. Though Umualuwaku up to Aba branch are different but it is closeer to Isinweke/Obowu dialects. Andre, ndeewo. I meela nnukwu. Aghotala m ihe unu kwuga ugbua. |
