I ain’t understand a word but I felt something in my soul hearing these languages especially iszulu & Yoruba. Contemplating which one to learn first.

@AfroN8V Glad that this sister talk gave specific examples using voices from other Kmtyw, I think it helps counter tribalism.

The equals '=' sign kills -- chrisinsanity ina JA edition

Observed @obadelekambon post on of Twi expressions that can approximate to ‘virgin’ and it reminded me of an study done on the challenges JA-Kmtyw victims of chrisinsanity had in translating the horror book of chrisinsanity ina Jamiekan.
