The village where men and women speak different languages

1 post in this topic

Quote

The Ubang people of Southern Nigeria have a 'female' and a 'male' language   

Boys in the community are expected to adopt the ‘male’ tongue by the age of 10 

Some words are the same for both sexes, whereas others are entirely different  

A BBC documentary travelled to the village and shone a light on the tradition
