fratermathy:Unfortunately, I'm one of such youths. My parents never spoke the language to us, and we were raised in solitude. It pains me everyday that I can't speak my language, and I wish there was a way I could learn it. 1 Like |

fratermathy: Greetings!!. This is a cause anybody who claim he/she is educated should be fighting for. Any culture that don't have their own language is dead!!. The way that woman speaks Urhobo is how we ought to take English and French in Africa- as a languge to pass time, a language we can speak leisurely and not as if our life depend on it. Our main language should've remained our native languages; both in school and society. 1 Like |

fratermathy: Sadly all Edoid languages are in danger, including Urhobo/Isoko. I'm beginning to doubt if any of the dialects can survive it alone long term, without a major collective effort. Instead of standalone BA Edo or Urhobo degrees, it should be joint degrees like BA Edoid Languages (Urhobo/Esan/Benin) or BA Edoid Languages & Linguistics (Isoko/Afemai/Degema). These joint degrees will not only promote the philological understanding of the individual languages but also the grammatical similarities and variations. The same way Germanic languages like German, English, Swedish, Dutch, Danish, etc re-enforce the understanding of each. Same applies to the romance languages of French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, Spanish, etc. 1 Like |

fratermathy: You have a very good suggestion but i'm sorry to tell you that there's no group that has this problem that has ever recovered from it and the case of Urhobo is a peculiar one. Pidgin English is becoming the new mother tongue in that area. Even in Scotland, Ireland and Wales where they have the same problem and with the resources at their disposal, they've not made any progress. I even know some Igbo guys that went to learn Welsh to be able to teach it to the welsh themselves and as much as they're cashing to the bank, no difference is noticed. Here in Nigeria, the Iban people of Bonny/Opobo have tried it, e no work. 2 Likes |

One of the costly price we have to pay for our stupidity putting English above our native languages is inability to interpret nature in academic terms. See this thread that should've been on front page https://www.nairaland.com/3750877/how-say-names-geometric-shapes#55912738 |

Re: White Woman Speaks Urhobo Language Fluently by Sanchez01: 4:21pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
airsaylongcon:Not true. Urhobos have a funny way of blending or mixing English words with the Urhobo language, mostly when they are not with their kinsmen. The accent is so strong that you would think she's your everyday Urhobo woman. |
Re: White Woman Speaks Urhobo Language Fluently by Nowenuse: 4:22pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
Sanchez01: I can confirm too. I was born and bred in Uvwie LGA. That language will be extinct in the next generation. The problem bedevilling urhobo language i think is mostly urbanization and Warri (a very multi-ethnic and cosmopolitan centre) playing a greater role as the capital or heart of Urhobo population. |

fratermathy:This video is wonderful. Our language cannot die but I will suggest that we marry our own ladies and speak to the language to our children. The language is tough so children need to understand it while growing up if not, OYO is it. Also, we shouldn't make jest of others for not speaking the language rather we should encourage them to attend clan meetings or associations. Thats how the language will survive. Alot of us marry outside the tribe. I have several brothers and sisters married to igbos and yorubas. Who do you blame it children end up not speaking the language? I am happy that atleast you bring up things like this. Thank you for this and God bless you...How I wish there are Urhobo and isoko videos were people can learn the language especially the basic parts. Abeg if you stumble on such videos please post them. God bless delta State God bless nigerdelta region. PS: Thank you Chelsea. Oya Arsenal don't f up o.. ..over to watch the next match. 1 Like |

Aphex: Refer to an earlier post I made on this thread, on the first page. I suggested watching some Urhobo movies. If possible, get and pay an Urhobo tutor if you can afford it. Try and learn it for the sake of your identity! Language is everything and as an Urhoboman, your language should never elude you. |
