PRONUNCIATIONS OF ALPHABETS IN ESAN LANGUAGE: 'E' IS PRONOUNCED IN TWO WAYS. PART 1.


Igberaese

By Esan Carnivall Coordinator (Igberaese Aikohi).

We are Esan people, we are from Esan and we speak Esan language. Ishan is a product of wrong pronunciation from foreigners.  Never join in such adulteration but rather correct it accordingly.

In Esan pronunciation,  the alphabet 'E' is pronounced in two ways, 1. as in Edo, Ewatto, Ekpoma, Ekpon, Edetalen, etc, 2. Ebele-Jonathan, Emu, Ewu, Esan, Ebakota, etc. Let me give you e.g of wrong pronunciation in another language.
 Some people pronounce the Yoruba word 'IBADAN' as Ibadan instead of  'Ibadon'. So, no Yoruba person will say "dan", it is "don", because their "an" is pronounced "on", as in "Obasonjor" not "sanjor"; "shongo"  not "sango". So, we are "Esans" not "Ishans".

For instance, we live in "Esan land" not "Ishan land" and we speak Esan language not Ishan language.

  3. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My breathing became more laboured, and I experienced increasing fatigue and shortness of breath with even minimal activity.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing became easier, the tightness in my chest eased, and I felt more energetic and capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
