How many of you can write well using your local language?

[Gormicsta]

OP, i wish i can fluently speak my language i would have been happy. Quite unfortunate i cant speak my language so how do i expect to write it. Lol  . I guess am not the only one here who cant speak their local dialect. Anyone?

The ability to understand and speak your local dialect is so important that it can't be overemphasized, I mean, that's like your ID just incase you find yourself anywhere.
I can fluently speak my local dialect and if it were possible I'd also love to go learn how to speak other major local languages in Nigeria, because language has a force you cannot really understand

We don de advocate for the board say make we de write more with pigin as e be say na the general language when every nija person fit speak well but e still get plenty people when no de fit use pigin write as e be say some of them don de used to normal good English.

The average English speaking man fit speak and write him English fluently without stress as e be say na wetin them know as their language right from when dem de small.

But when it comes to an average Nigerian, we know say most of us fit speak our Hausa, Igbo, yoruba or Efik well but when it comes to writing in those our local language eh, e de always de very difficult.

Like me eh, I fit speak my dialect well oh but when it comes to reading an article that is written in my dialect or even trying to write an article in my dialect eh, na suffer I go de suffer oh, I fit even manage read small for my local dialect but to fit write de hard me aswr.

how easy e de for you to fit read and write using your local dialect?

    How we fit improve on being comfortable in the use of our local dialect?  I mean either reading or writing with it. 

Even I say we improve on our local language, e no dey wise we come show am here, bacuse if go write post for my language, how many people go read my language understand am, talk less of to even reply. If na pidgin we fit speak, but no be every body sabi that one too. You know say the country get plenty people we no too sabi speak their language for this our 21st century pass before, cause many parents no too dey gree carry their children go villa, and this reason make many of them no identity with home, this fit also be the reason why many youths no sabi.
We no go blam them, no be like say government approve make then dey teach individual language for school.

We no go blam them, no be like say government approve make then dey teach individual language for school.

government allows local dialect to be thought in schools!

In my primary school, I learnt how to read and write using my local dialect and that is what helped me to become very familiar in the use of m dialect. I guess it's mostly in schools situated in the cities that local languages are no included in their curriculum.

You know that their are platforms online were people are paid to teach others certain languages and yo wouldn't know the importance of being fluent at your language until an opportunity like this comes and you find out u don't know shit.

In the World today, learn everything wearable cause you don't know where it might need it.

Me I like to use pidgin pass English take communicate because na for pidgin I dey fit express myself well easily. Both for furum and real life na pidgin I dey use pass, naim make majority  of my post na pidgin I use. Normally we supposed to encourage pidgin well well for this board, but no be everybody fit speak am to their full expression, naim make the best decision wey them make na to legalize pidgin and English for this local board so that problem no go dey. I no lie you, when it comes to reading your native for book, e dey very hard because no be wattin them teach us from small. If to say them teach us how to, I believe say we for dey chew like the wey we dey do with English.

[Y3shot]

Native language seems hard for people to express themselves in writing maybe because they are not used to it, but I think this should be a reason why we shouldn't use our local language which is pidgin to communicate in our local board. Let's emulate other people as they are communicating in their language in their local board. I think one of the reasons I prefer we using the pidgin English to communicate here it will make us to be more united more in the forum and for good expression too.

Answer to your first question (how easy it is): 
Uhm...I'd say it's fairly easy for me — I can write (with correct spellings) and even punctuate properly.

Answer to your second question:
One has to learn to speak his/her dialect more often at home, have conversations with family members/relatives using that dialect. Also, asking questions about culture — the stories, folklores. Then try pondering on the pronunciation of words, the intonation, and their meaning.
Try to study your dialect!!!

I can speak my dialect well but I'm can't write it as perfect as I spoke it. Our local dialect is only useful among our ethnicity, so I don't see the important of learning how to write it

[Pi$$]

pidgin na our local language why we no go sabi speak am, like me now I fit speak pidgin well so e no dey hard me to understand wetin u na dey talk.
i no know why we dey use English for school dey learn we suppose to dey use our normal dialect dey learn which is vernacular (pidgin). i no know which time Nigeria go adopt English from white men self, na wetin make we dey use English learn for school.

we najia we don forget our local dialect na, now na everybody say na English dey want use talk and learn.

abeg oo najia make we try remember our local dialect like
* pidgin
* Igbo
* Hausa
* Yoruba

Omo, e no really easy o, e be like na one kind difficult something for me to do, even to speak my local dialect well self, I no fit, although I go dey try to dey read well pass to dey write, no be say I no fit write o but before I go finish write one sentence with my local language, I go gats to mixed am up with English, but how I wish say dey go put am compulsory for the whole school wey dey for our country to learn their local languages as a subject, e for really make sense and also be of help, but the problem be say, for each school different ethics dey come together or dey attend each school so e go dey really difficult to actualized that, if not na this suggestion for dey good, that means we go dey able to dey read and write for our local dialect, even if we no dey perfect but at least we for dey try.

This topic wey you write, I been expect say e suppose dey for pidgin English, I mean the title. Something like How many of us fit write well for our local languages. To dey honest with you, e dey hard many people to write pigin, let alone to write their local language. As Charles-Tim talk, him deh find it difficult to write or read pidgin because different version of pidgins dem dey.

No blame the OP as him start the topic with strong grammar wey we call English language, the problem be say our local board don dey too flooded with English writing and posting but I know say some piple just dey do things make e be say e different from some of us wey dey use pigin post, make una know say we no fit hide our mata as long as English language don flood this our local board outsiders must know wetin we took here, even if you no sabi use pigin post my broda na to try harder becos na our own language wey we get to use communicate outside from English.

But for local languages, e dey difficult for many people. But I for still write with my language. To write languages no dey hard me, but to understand bu be nsogbu no. Kwu obula ona adi, kanyi were forum ya muo kwu eji asu okwu nyi. Odi mkpa nihina umu nyi ndeke adi muo amuo. Ka okwunyi yara ifuni

My broda if no be pigin I no fit enter that native language to use am post oh... Na this one wey plenty piple fit say them no sabi and i follow say e hard to use my native language post...like this you don sell us wey no from your community...😅

[Obari]

pidgin na our local language why we no go sabi speak am, like me now I fit speak pidgin well so e no dey hard me to understand wetin u na dey talk.
i no know why we dey use English for school dey learn we suppose to dey use our normal dialect dey learn which is vernacular (pidgin). i no know which time Nigeria go adopt English from white men self, na wetin make we dey use English learn for school.

we najia we don forget our local dialect na, now na everybody say na English dey want use talk and learn.

abeg oo najia make we try remember our local dialect like
* pidgin
* Igbo
* Hausa
* Yoruba

All these languages na kznguat wey no fit forget even if we try to abandonam and speak only English.It has become our Lingua Franca do tey every where we go,we go dey speak this language,and we go dey continue to make other people know say this thing na wetin be our own.
We are Nigerias,and our language no go fit change nomatter how we try to changam.People wey really dey in position of the change no go fit doam despite the pressure dem put to try changam.
Our language,our culture,our heritage is what they can't changed,and nothing anybody can do about that.

Omo, mk I no lie o, me I no fit write well for my local language o, even the pidgin English self, I never write am well or the correct English self talk more of my local language, e dey very hard and it go really require person to crack brain before you fit still get one line well and if person check am well, dem go still see error for their although no be really our fault sha, na because say we no grow up with that, even for school self, they no dey teach us with our local language, na e make we find am hard to read and write for our local language, na e make I like oyibo people o, some of them dey use their local languages dey teach them, na e mk some of the movie wey we they watch, them dey use their language to read and write, no be say they no fit speak English o but their local languages na their first priority.
