PREAMBLE: You are all welcome to TEACH YOURSELF EDO LANGUAGE, and we shall begin this course with the simple or common greetings and salutations first in Edo language and duly translated into the English language. Before we commence, I must make this special warning that the materials contained in this lesson tape and disc must never be copied, reproduced, retrieved, transferred, or re-written in any manner without the written approval and consent of the Guosa Language Research Center, P.O. Box 2797, Richmond, CA 94802; or, Guosa Language Research Center, 647 16th Street, Unit A, Richmond, CA 94801; Telephone Area Code 510-233-9228.
Ób’ókhían .................................welcome
Next in Lesson One, we shall study a little bit of the Edo language grammar as folllows: Alphabets: Á B D É È F G Í H K L M N Ó Ò P R S T Ú V W Y Z Note: The first letter after the consonant D, i.e. É takes the form of vowel (ÉH) while the fifth letter and vowel in the Alphabets is pronounced (EH) (mid tone) and a dot under the letter E From the above graphic alphabets you will observe that the Edo language has no letters like "C", "J" and "X". Thus you can compose some elementary words using the above Edo Alphabets and vowels, though the PC do not have all the qualities for me to properly write them in an original Edo form and version, for instance I cannot find a vowel with a dot under it in the Computer. In the mean time: |
