Download or read book Yoruba Transcript Dictionary written by Deji Olaiya and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Yoruba Transcript? Simply put, the digital way to write in Yoruba, that is, without accents.In the 18th century, Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's quest to translate the Holy Bible into Yoruba led to the creation of an orthography for Yoruba language. This thereafter resulted in the publication of the first Yoruba dictionary. Bishop Crowther found out during his compilation that some Yoruba phonetics were not represented by Latin alphabets, so he introduced tonal accents, which didn't make the language reader friendly. Transcript replaces accents with conventional alphabets to make Yoruba language conform to international standards. This has made Yoruba more reader friendly, more writer friendly and this has now given rise to Yoruba language 'renaissance'.A Sample Yoruba Proverb Adaba ough naanint ivell, Papar injonon, Eyyel okoul folaut. Also Included in the book is 15,000 words Dictionary of Yoruba Language and hundreds of Yoruba proverbs and niches.

Download or read book Arts of Being Yoruba written by Adélékè Adéèkó and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a culturally significant way of being Yorùbá that is expressed through dress, greetings, and celebrations—no matter where in the world they take place. Adélékè Adék documents Yorùbá patterns of behavior and articulates a philosophy of how to be Yorùbá in this innovative study. As he focuses on historical writings, Ifá divination practices, the use of proverbs in contemporary speech, photography, gendered ideas of dressing well, and the formalities of ceremony and speech at celebratory occasions, Adéékó contends that being Yorùbá is indeed an art and Yorùbá-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural shifts as Yorùbá people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.
