ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Even though we have written about Yoruba Alphabets in the past, it is being re-written to remind readers on how it is pronounced, written and to point out the difference between the Yoruba and English Alphabets.

For example, English Alphabets are made up of twenty-six letter while Yoruba Alphabets are twenty-five. Check out the slides on this page.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Ostrich is the biggest and has the largest eggs among the birds. The long neck and legs made it taller than all the other birds. Ostrich is also the fastest runner on land more than all the birds. This is why Yoruba crowned Ostrich as the King of Birds. Many wild birds such as Ostrich are almost extinct as a result of the expansion of towns and cities displacing the wild birds which can now be seen at the Zoo.

There are various types of birds in Yoruba land, the most common at home or in town (domestic birds) are: Chicken (Cock and Hen), Duck, Pigeon, Guinea Fowl, Parrot, and Peacock. The common wild birds that are known in the town or communities are: Falcon/Kite, Eagle, Owl, Vulture and Cattle-egret. Birds are of various colours, one species of bird can come in various colours, while some are black like the dye, some are red like the camwood, and some are white, but the Yoruba song on this page depicted the common colours that are peculiar with some species of birds. For example, Cattle-Egret are white like chalk, Blue Turaco are coloured like the dye and Red Turaco are reddish like the camwood. Check out the pictures and prononciation of some of the birds that are common in Yoruba land on this page.
