My language is Annang which is a variant of ibibio language. The following words are the same with the same meaning: 1. CAN: English: I CAN do it. Annang/Ibibio: Mkpa CAN nnam, which means "I CAN do it" in English. So CAN has the same pronunciation and meaning in English and Annang/Ibibio. 2. DUG: English: I DUG a pit. Annang/Ibibio: Amin DUG udi So DUG has the same pronunciation and meaning in English and Annang/Ibibio.

Since human beings originated from one single man,it is expected that they should have some words that are the same, because when you migrate to another place, you will lose some of your original language although some words will still remain the same. That explains why some words are the same. 1 Like 1 Share |
