Even in Spain they speak TWO different brands of Spanish (I speak Spanish too so I know). Spaniards speak Castillian Spanish and Catalan Spanish and they acknowledge the difference. There is NO standard Spanish. Why should we destroy our language and its beauty in the name of Centralization?

No there are no two different brands of Spanish. We have only one and it's called Castellano. Catalan is a dialect spoken by the people in the Catalan region of Spain and it shares commonalities with Valencian and Balearic dialects.

Castellano or Castillian is the official Language in Spain spoken by all, Catalan is regional, Basque is regional, Mallorquin(Balearics) is regional and The Andalucian dialect. All the individual dialects are encouraged within their respective regions but not as national language. If not they will go extinct.

y romeo, si vosotros no la conoceis, no usar 'tu'. 'Tu' es para los familiares, los amorosos, y para ninos que tienen menos anos que vosotros. Es por que uso 'vosotros' pues no os conozco.

Igbo izugbe is understood by every Igbo person. It has a wriiten form and is taught at schools, If we are going to teach anybody Igbo language, the language should be Igbo Izugbe. thanks

Yay let's begin.

NOTE: I can't do the letters with the Dots needed for the alternate sounds so I am going to substitute the dot with an apostrophe. So, if I want to write the word Onu (meaning mouth and obviously pronounced with O as in Or) then I will write it as O'nu. Understand?

Yay, I'm having fun.

Preliminary Lesson

The Igbo Alphabet

A (Ah) B (bee) Ch (Chee) D (Dee) E (Ay) F (Fee) G (Gee) GB ([/b]Gbee) [b]GH (Ghee) GW (Gwee)

H (Hech) I (ih) I' (eee) J (Jay or Jeh) K (keh) KP (Kpee) KW (Kwee) L (lee) M (Mee) N (Nee)

N' (Nyih) NW (Nwee) Ny (Nyee) O (Oh) O' (O as in Hot) P (Pee) R (Ri) S (see) SH (She) T (Tee)

U (OOH) U' (EWE) V (Vee) W (Wee) Y (Yi) Z (Zed)

Lesson 1

In Igbo, the verb is NEVER conjugated, only the pronouns are conjugated.

Subject Pronouns (Present Tense)

I - N' (this is an N with a dot underneath. When it stands alone to mean the personal pronoun I, it is pronounced as nnnnn)

You - I (pronounced ee)

She/He/It - O' (this is an O with a dot underneath, pronounced as O as in Hot)

We - Anyi

You (plural) - Unu (pronounced OOH-NOO)

They - Fa


Lesson Two - Verbs

In Igbo, the infinitive is formed by adding "i" to the beginning of the verb.

For example

I + Bia (come) = Ibia (to come) Pronounced (ee-byah)

I + Bido (begin or to start) = Ibido (to begin or to start) Pronounced (ee-bee-doh)

I + Je (go) = Ije (to go. note that "Ije" also means a journey, walk, or someone's manner of walking when used as a noun, but here it is used as a verb to form the infinitive)


The Past Tense.

Most Igbo verbs automatically fall into the past tense when combined with pronouns, so for example, you might be expecting the following phrase

N' je Anambra to mean I am going to Anambra, but it actually means "I WENT to Anambra"


Formation of the Present/Continuous Tense

In order to form a sentence in the present tense in Igbo you must insert the word "NA" before the verb.

e.g.

N' je Anambra = I went to Anambra

N' na je Anambra = I AM GOING to Anambra.


PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ANY LETTERS WITH APOSTROPHES ARE BEING USED TO REPRESENT THE IGBO LETTERS WITH DOTS UNDERNEATH.

IF YOU LIKE MY LESSONS I'LL CONTINUE. LET ME KNOW.

The alphabets are wrongly pronounced in your post.

There is nothing like "N'je Anambra" in central Igbo!! Or would you like to hear my Ngwo way of speaking Igbo? We can not tell people that our dialects are the best way to say things in Igbo language.

Anam eje anambra = I am going to Anambra
Ejere m Anambra = I went to Anambra

Men!!! No need for all these criticisms that u guys are pouring out allover d place. We Ibos(Igbos) are very proud of our root and I see no crime in being proud that one is from a particular tribe. I have Hausa, Benue and Yoruba people as good friends. So what d heck is d noise all about?! Oh, that it made the homepage? Any topic can make the homepage regardless of the tribe or author.
   C'mon guys and babes, lets be more matured and reasonable. U neva know where u wil land tomorrow, just like Asoneye has been dreaming of getting married 2 an Ibo guy. Who knows u might marry d girl/boy from downtown and I marry the girl from Afgahn,  or Ira,
Did I say anytin
Peace-out guys!

Why is it the Igbos that are always trying to separate themselves?  I cannot encourage this at all.  

Even if you say "don't join us just because you are Yoruba" I must join.  One of my ancestors may have been Igbo, you know, so I'm among!!  I'm one of you.  Yes o!  Igbo Kwenu!!

debosky:
Romeo sharrap there!  

if you nor take time, I no go come stay at your crib when I visit Espana for vacation.  

Some of you Igbo people like this siege mentality too much, no one is attacking you as a tribe. My beef is with Dede's atrocious use of the English Language. If someone wants to make illogical statements, be he/she Igbo, Kanuri, Tiv, Hausa or Masai   I will challenge such a statement when I come across it.  

Debooo if you come Spain you no visit me you dey wahala be that!!

@topic
