Hi from Brazil!!! I'm from Salvador, which is the city that has the largest Black population outside África. We speak Portuguese only, but some African-Brazilian religions here use very basic Yoruba language in their rituals and also to name their temples.
I found out last week that I am a Yoruba & Fulani descendant. I’m most interested in learning about my Yoruba culture and language. I’m so proud to apart of such a beautiful tribe.
It’s not so much the accentuation, it’s more of a tone/intonation thing. A lot of Americans are very ‘sing-songy’ naturally as my dad loves to point out. He said we speak like we have a question to ask or we’re not sure, which is very conflicting with a language with such strong tones. Putting the inflection on the wrong syllable can make it mean something completely different which is something you really don’t worry about in English. That’s the disconnect I find. Very helpful from a diaspora girlie 🥹💚
That questioning tone is not so much 'American' as much as it is something from pop culture, that has permeated how Americans of younger generations speak. It is also quite prolific in English speaking Canada. What I mean to say is that it is not natural to American English.
Most African languages are. If you want to learn an African language that is not. Swahili is always recommended. Because it's an African language that is not tonal and you pretty much say the words as spelled.
@@linkin5961 most african languages aren't tonal, Swahili isn't tonal like most other Bantu languages, tonal languages are more common in West Africa, though the Mande languages in West Africa aren't tonal.
@@windsurfer8824 East Asia and Africa has the highest of tonal languages to non tonal. According to one source. Tonal languages are found throughout the world but are predominantly used in Africa. According to another source. There are various sources that state Africa vast usage of tonal African languages. There are some that aren’t which is why I recommended Swahili. West Africa- Yoruba,Igbo,Hausa, Mandika North Africa-Arabic North and Central-Berber East Africa-Amharic,Somali,Oromo South Africa- zulu, khoi (any language falling in the bantu family) Those are just a few but examples of tonal African languages I can recall. But, you are also correct West Africa has a large amount of tonal languages. Khoi-san and all bantu languages with the exclusion of swahili are all fully tonal-This is Central africa, south africa and parts of east africa The large majority of niger congo-West Africa languages are tonal Nilo Saharan languages are fully tonal -This is central, parts of north and some of east africa Most Afroasiatic languages are tonal- This is North Africa, parts of west and parts of East Africa.
@@windsurfer8824 I am rushing and using my phone so sorry if the typing isn’t the best. I just like helping others. Because there are languages of Africa I would like to learn and my personal opinion was to start with a non tonal languages. There are others like Fula and Wolof of West Africa that are non tonal but again the majority of African languages are tonal.
im only 13 living in the us, arizona,i got a dominican accent, now i want more... nobody speaks yoruba, only english and spainish.. i just felt learning more languages is better for my dream of wanting to be a commercial pilot, and it would feel good speak a language that my whole school wouldnt understand.
Unless your family is not Yoruba or you don't have much connection I don't think you'll like to spend so much time to use a language everyone in your school wouldn't know. Like my family is Nigerian but speak Yoruba so I wouldn't bother learning igbo 😂 but I guess to each his own. I support you 💪🏾 👍
Be too bros !! I can feel your pain !!! I have was born and brought up in Lagos and I can't even understand some little Yoruba words apart from :; "meji, meta, merin:;: I don't know another Yoruba !!! Chai , I just dey vex for my self
Here as an oyinbo. Been trying to learn Yoruba, Igbo, and Edo the the last few months so I can have some conversational level stuff for travelling to Nigeria next year
The black community has to want to reclaim that identity and take it seriously hope this year and the upcoming ones brings some changes to mid and we can figure out what language the majority of of us will chose instead of just English or Spanish
lol. ema try l'ati practise ! That got me rolling off my bed. I'm actually watching this from my bed because it is late at night. Thank you. See you on the next video.
Hey, I watched this video ten months ago and hear I am again watchinhnit afresh for our reading pleasure. I am at LIS Ilorin and I am happy to let you know that I have followed your teachings afresh. It's great.
Brother to save the struggle why not try Nko script which is the perfect for our languages. Well done am wanting to learn more of Yoroba, am from Gambia learned opening greetings from my colleagues in UK here.
I love you and your way of teaching. I just developed interest in Yoruba language,as an Igbo, I'm having difficulty learning it but I know that I will finally be fluent in it some day.
Yes, my friend...but you must tell us WHAT...😁 the word MEANS every time you USE a new word, For your Audience to understand WHY they are pronouncing THAT word? But I am subscribing to you NOW! I LOVE exotic...or unusual... (For people in the U.S.) Languages I understand some Hindi Some Korean, some Polish , And some Russian. a *Great deal* of Hawaiian, and now I find myself among some Astounding West African people. Different cultures are *Beautiful* to me. I want to speak to them in a way that allows them to understand... That I Appreciate them . I am a LONG WAY from understanding their cultural philosophy... I just want them to know that I revere them and their culture, As well as,...simply understand a language that is New ..to me. I just KNOW, that YOU are the man to teach me ! 💜
PLEASE HELP. African languages are not a part of US education other than UA-cam I don’t seem much interactive text on them. I refuse to learn another language before I have few from the continent down
There’s no way I’m learning Spanish before my native language 🇳🇬🇳🇬
You can learn both. In fact there’s a lot of use of Yoruba in Cuba.
Ayyye my friend I agree. 😂 I love my Spanish been practicing for years but it’s something about African culture, I’m American.
🤣
PERIANNNAAAAA
🤣🤣🤣 I’m 💤
As a half Nigerian girl, my father never really taught me how to speak Yoruba and I've always wanted to connect with my roots this really helped
I am trying to learn Yoruba as an Indian because I have a Yoruba king in my life
Congrats your life will be long and your children will be greater than their father iJn.

This language or Key Swahili should be in every HBCU and an option for grade school children in the US…period.
The black community has to want to reclaim that identity and take it seriously hope this year and the upcoming ones brings some changes to mid and we can figure out what language the majority of of us will chose instead of just English or Spanish
Key Swahili ? 😂😂😂

Hi, friend! Do you have an explaination of all those diacritic symbols above and below letters?
Thank you so much!!! Loving this series
Great.

You will love it there!!! You will be treated with respect whether you know the language or not.
Oga !! You said we should close our eyes with an ad , on the screen!! Haha real funny 😅😅

I love learning from you 💯
Glad to hear it

Are you coming back?
Need more from the Yoruba decent
Thanks so much
The title is misleading. Why say learn Yoruba in one day? Other than that, I quite love the video and foundational lesson.
So how do I know which words to desend and which to ascend
Yessso!
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️
Yes, my friend...but you must tell us WHAT...😁 the word MEANS every time you USE a new word,
For your Audience to understand WHY they are pronouncing THAT word?
But I am subscribing to you NOW!
I LOVE exotic...or unusual...
(For people in the U.S.)
Languages
I understand some Hindi
Some Korean, some Polish ,
And some Russian.
a *Great deal* of Hawaiian,
and now I find myself among some Astounding West African people.
Different cultures are *Beautiful* to me.
I want to speak to them in a way that allows them to understand...
That I Appreciate them .
I am a LONG WAY from understanding their cultural philosophy...
I just want them to know that I revere them and their culture,
As well as,...simply understand a language that is New
..to me.
I just KNOW, that YOU are the man to teach me !
💜
You actually do look like a baba alawo! 😀 I am impressed by your method though.
PLEASE HELP. African languages are not a part of US education other than UA-cam I don’t seem much interactive text on them. I refuse to learn another language before I have few from the continent down
Now this is the shyt I be trying to tell Mf, learn the language of your people first before you learn a lanuage from other races
Thanks
