Shocking-English Language Originated From Yoruba by tanteta(m): 12:03pm On Mar 01, 2016 |
English language originated from Yoruba – Ooni of Ife He said the most spoken languages all over the world today like English had its origin in Yoruba language. The monarch advised Yoruba speakers all over the world to make use of the language as means of communication in their homes so it won’t go into extinction. He charged the Yoruba people to remember their roots and pay special attention to the resuscitation, sustenance and growth of their mother tongue if they wished to sustain their culture and identity within the global community. Oba Ogunwusi gave the charge during the celebration of this year’s “World Mother Tongue Day” which was held at the Oba Okunade Sijuwade Hall, Enuwa, Ile-Ife, Osun State. The monarch also advocated the use of Yoruba language as means of instruction in schools for a proper understanding of their studies as it was done in some other climes. Tracing the etymological history of languages, Oba Ogunwusi said the most spoken languages all over the world today like English had their origin in Yoruba language. He berated the situation where these languages are given and receiving attention by the Yoruba people at the detriment of their mother tongue. He said “the chequered history of Yoruba race with slavery and slave trade wherein their brethren were taken to America and Europe and forced to work in the sugarcane farms did not obliterate their mother tongue completely”.

Lool. I think this nyggah has started messing with cheap crack laced with amala. English language and Yoruba language have nothing in common. English language is a bastard language and the Yoruba language is a very rich language. I don't understand the inferiority complex that will make anyone want to claim a very poor language in lieu of a far richer one. The English language is one of the poorest languages on the planet. Stop it. And it has its origins in mostly Latin/Greek with an admixture of Germanic tongues. 3 Likes |

Yoruba's are the most confused set of tribe I have ever seen... The other day was Yoruba's are Jews Now English emanated from Yoruba language. And I ask what is the relationship between both? Does the Jew speak English as their mother tongue? I think these set of tribe should just agree that their progenitor fell from heaven... Whether he is the Satan I don't care.... But let them agree on something chuuuuu 1 Like |
