What Is D Cause Of Different Dialects??? by tayooluwole: 4:26pm On Sep 13, 2013
We Yorubas beleive that we all descended from IFE and regards IFE as our home of ancestral herittage. Variances in yoruba language dialect/assent is what has propelled my tought to invalidate d opinion that we all descended from IFE. IFE dialect is only confined to the four wall of IFE and nt a dialect obtainable in any other part of the yoruba towns. Since it is beleived that the people that situated some of these yoruba towns such as ijesha, ijebu, egba, owo, oyo, ekiti, akure interalia, where absolute different dialects is obtainable are all frm ife, dont you beleive it is reasonable to think that we still suppose to have some set of people that will be speaking IFE dialect in all these towns. To hear ijesha dialect na war, to hear ijebu dialect na problem, to hear owo dialect in ondo state requires meticulous attentiveness, egba dialect self na no goin area. And we re all yorubas believed to hv descended frm IFE. Should we conclude ENVIROMENT to be the factor that influence the deviatn of various dialects frm IFE dialet Contributns will be highly appreciated....

Interaction with others around you influences one's tongue. An Egba man might have left Ile Ife to settle in Egbaland. In Egbaland he has Ijebus to the east, Ibadans to the North. It's likely that Egbas will now be influenced by their neighbours from Ibadan and Ijebu, more than Ife.
Its similar in Igboland for example, Arọs are settled in different parts of eastern Nigeria-Arọ Ikwerre, Arọndiizuọgụ, Arọchukwu etc. But they all do not speak Arọ dialect. Their tongues are heavely influenced by the environment they found themselves.
