Why Is Rhotacism Common Among Yoruba Youth? by Warl0ck: 1:35pm On Mar 23, 2023 |
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. |

It is a speech impediment they have no control over, right from their childhood and it cuts across tribes. 1 Like |

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' ![]() 3 Likes |

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. 1 Like |
