I'm an Isoko guy and noticed a lack of Isoko related threads, so I decided to start this one. If you're Isoko, post which LGA and village/town you are from.

I'm from Isoko North LGA and I'm from Ozoro town.

liftedone:
I thot this was an Isoko thread? What's nwando, olanajim and ifyalways doing here (ify r u sure you know what you are saying? It looks more urhoboish than isoko to me. please confirm your granny's ethnicity, this one when u just dey murder whatever language for here.)

Ice_zik, unfortunately, isoko being a minority language, is dying quicker than most other languages because many parents are bringing up their children speaking english language. I can speak but can neither read nor write the language, which really pains me because I see my yoruba friends who can read their yoruba bibles and pray fluently in yoruba and say the grace in yoruba, which i cannot do. Imagine only being able to read and write in English when I no be oyinbo. I feel sad about it.

same here dear

I'm Andrew by name. Obokparo and Orezime are my native names. I'm from Uzere, Isoko-South. Both parents are from Isoko. Born and bred in Lagos. I understand Isoko when spoken to me but have tough time speaking it - sadly!

^^^^^^ omoesume.
Welcome to the Isoko group, I can't relate to the "oyan ewehren" though. The spelling looks so Bini too.

Do Isoko have any particular word for goodbye?

It can roughly translate to a word like yò obeuwóu.

I am not too sure though

I thought you were working on the itsekiri language some months back, well I can't help much with the isoko language due to its complexity, but travelling to Delta will help solve most of the issues.

Happy Sunday.

The language is sure workable, But you should also note that the isoko's have little population, so there are little chances of you meeting many online for assistance, the best option is to come over to Delta and get first hand info about the language.

Digwo,

Could someone fluent in Isoko tell me how to say in Isoko to a woman:
Ovo) "You are beautiful"
Eve) "You have beautiful boobs"
Esa) "You have a beautiful butt"

This is just for fun - would like to surprise someone.

It sure does.

I read somewhere that with proper linguistics investigation, a lot of history can be unearthed about a people’s tribe, migration, etc

Now this is something I definitely would be interested in

@ BabyfaceAfrica: do keep us updated on your research findings
