Igbo language had some influence from English but even English language itself was heavily influenced by French and Latin languages. About 50% of English words came from French alone. For example the word Cuisine is a French word for kitchen, borrowed by English. Dangerous from French "Dangereux. Marvelous from French Marvelleuse boutique from French Boutique meaning Shop Words ending with -graphy came from French. Likewise those ending with - tion like education, communication, salvation, intervention, liquefaction, etc |

Onyiiobi7735:You mean all those are Igbo words? Most of the words have Igbo language alternative. An Igbo speaker sometimes using some words which have Igbo language alternative isn't same as influence on Igbo language itself. The speaker simply lacks Igbo language vocabulary. The influence is when origin of Igbo words are from other languages. It is same about other languages, if not worse. Assign some thoughts to your brain before writing. |

Noneroone:Lol!! Teacher don come.You should be the one to assign some thoughts to your brain before writing. The words I gave were borrowed directly from English and so,by lending to Igbo, English has influenced Igbo language. Educate yourself before looking for whom to educate. |
