Who said Owerri is very close to Ika? From all my research, I only notice very very insignificant similarity. Not even enough to give it any attention |

chijiblaze:We have wu but construction of sentences in Ika language is different from what you think. Even the ni in that sentence ought to be eliminated but I just added it. Wu, ri are just some similarities with Owerri but an average Ika speaker doesn't understand Owerri. I understand Anambra Better than Owerri, so where is the very similar coming from |
Re: I Want To Learn Owerri Dialect by naijaseeker: 3:04pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
kpaminose: I doubt that an Ika speaker would understand Owerri dialect. In fact many people from Anambra don't, and a few people from some further parts of Imo and Abia may not. Owerri dialect is very distinct, many Igbo languages are very distinct, what I am trying to say is, an understanding of central Igbo (whatever it is) or the more popularly spoken Igbo ( a diluted version of Anambra and Orlu dialects) will not equip anyone towards understanding Owerri dialect |
