Ebubu3:There are Cross river groups scattered in Ebonyi state. The Igbo migration northeastwards from the Awka-Orlu and Nsukka Igbo heartlands met them there and absorbed most of them. Those that were not completely absorbed completely to remain in pockets across Ebonyi. |

scholes0:what does this mean? |
Re: Focus On The South Let's See States And Capitals by scholes0(m): 10:37pm On Aug 26, 2023 |
Ebubu3: The remnant of the upper cross river groups in Ebonyi that were not absorbed by the Mgbo, Ikwo, Ezaa and Izhi. That's what it means. They are especially very numerous in Ikwo local government. |
Re: Focus On The South Let's See States And Capitals by Ebubu3: 10:39pm On Aug 26, 2023 |
scholes0:so you’re saying Ebonyi and Upper cross river groups have inter-twined history and married together and that’s why Ebonyi Igbo is UNLIKE central igbo? |
Re: Focus On The South Let's See States And Capitals by scholes0(m): 10:45pm On Aug 26, 2023 |
Ebubu3: Yes, to a good degree. Read Adiele Afigbo's work circa 1987 titled "The Igbos and their neighbours" You will understand why the Isobo are not igbo but Mbembe that were pushed to the left bank of the cross river. 1 Like 1 Share |

scholes0: Did you say slight influence? The entire language is very clearly the same Ìgbò variant as that spoken by the Ezza-Ikwo-Izhi. The entire language. Of course with influence from Upper Cross River languages. Isobo are not Mbembe. I don't know where you got that from. They have a Facebook page where they share elements of their language and culture from time to time. And the ones among them that I have interacted with identify with the larger Ìgbò family. 2 Likes |

RedboneSmith: Most of their village wards have clearly cross-river like sounding Usomotong-esque names.. Their so called dialect is barely comprehensible to an average Igbo speaker if at all. Even to many 'Ebonyians'. So yes, it is indeed lateral acculturation. 1 Like 1 Share |

scholes0: I am almost convinced it is Osopong that you're mistaking for Isobo. Isobo language or dialect (I really don't care which it is called) is as incomprehensible to the central Igbo speaker as Ezza, Ikwo, Izhi and Mgbo is incomprehensible to the central Ìgbò speaker. An Ikwo person and an Isobo person can communicate with minimal difficulties. In fact, their traditions state that they are an extension of Ikwo across the Enyim River (i.e., Cross River). Isobo language is demonstrably part of the Abakaliki linguistic cluster within the Igbo linguistic family. Nobody argues about this connection. Not even the Isobo themselves. Like I said, you're probably confusing them with Osopong people. 2 Likes |
Re: Focus On The South Let's See States And Capitals by RedboneSmith(m): 11:28pm On Aug 26, 2023 |
scholes0: Any Ebonyian who does not understand Isobo is not from the Abakaliki zone. Ebonyi is not one dialect. Edda doesn't speak like Ezza. And Ishielu doesn't speak like Afikpo. Isobo and the Abakaliki dialects belong to the same sub-cluster. 3 Likes |

RedboneSmith: Actually it is the Agbo people I was confusing them with, not the Osopong, but the Osopong on the West bank of the cross have similar morphology too but are Mbembe, you are right. 1 Like |

RedboneSmith:You know history well well o. So what do you think is the case for why Abakaliki dialect cluster is not understandable to the Central Igbo ? Is it due to mixture with Northern Cross River dialects ? Do Idomas and Igala have influence on their dialects at all ? |
Re: Focus On The South Let's See States And Capitals by RedboneSmith(m): 12:14am On Aug 27, 2023 |
Ebubu3: Dialect divergence is a normal thing in history. For every large language group, the dialects on the fringes are going to show considerable differences from the dialects in the centre. The thing to note is that despite the low level of mutual intelligibility between the Abakaliki cluster and the central dialects, lexical similarity between Abakaliki dialects and the central dialects is still over 80%. Igala influence? None that I can tell. Some influence from Idomoid and Upper Cross dialects, but that's minimal. The thing that I have noticed about Abakaliki dialects is that the main reason why it sounds incomprehensible is the way they pronounce words, ie, their accents and inflections. That is why written Ezza is easier to understand by a central Igbo speaker than spoken Ezza. 5 Likes |
