Welcome to Grammar Practice and Culture in Igbo Language. Language is generally an art. Further than that, Igbo Language is a communication vehicle with extensive variety. With so many dialects, the language gives the speaker such flexibility to cut and paste, cut and join, mix and match within and outside of any particular dialect. This is a language that utilizes idioms, proverbs, adage, axiom, hyperbole, euphemism and other forms of verbal communication. It is also a language that is deeply rooted in oral tradition, due to the rich historical background of the language.
It is easy to see the same nuances that are found in other, and rather universal, languages. Grammar construction that utilizes nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and prepositions find good outlet in Igbo language. In a lot of places, the word 'Igbo' is presented as 'Igbo'. In this text, it is simply put as 'Igbo', the difference being an inherent diversification in the language that enables the different parts of the community to use either of those words.
This text is divided into three parts thus: Grammar, Conversation, and Culture. The Grammar section deals with vowels, consonants, numbers and words. It also deals with forming sentences. The Conversation section features two characters exchanging words as well as asking and answering questions. The Culture section uses events and ceremonies to reveal the way of life of Igbo people.
