There is no issue surrounding the phonemic status of consonants [l and n] in the Standard Yorùbá. It is proven that consonants [l and n] are allophones of the same phoneme which establishes the fact that l~n alternation does exist in the SY. Phoneme /l/ has two allophones: [l] and [n]; consonant [l] occurs before an oral vowel and consonant [n] occurs before a nasal vowel. There are two schools of thought on the phonemic status of consonants [l and n] in the South-East Yorùbá dialects; a ...
The manifestation of ͻ̃~ã is recorded in the Standard Yorùbá (SY) which is contrast to what we know in the South-East Yorùbá. This simply means vowels [ͻ̃ and ã] are known to be allophones of the same phoneme (/ã/) in the Standard Yorùbá (SY). In other words, there is ͻ̃~ã in SY. Can we say the same in the South-East Yorùbá? Are [ͻ̃ and ã] allophones of the same phoneme in the SEY? Does ͻ̃~ã really exist in the South-East Yorùbá? Hence, this study brings a contrast r...
It is known that an allophone is a non-contrastive segment. Less attention is given to its understanding because most scholars believe it is narrow in nature but there are more to allophonic variations across dialects of a language than what we know in the standard form of such language. Yorùbá is not exempted on this. Most (typical) native speakers of Yorùbá language find it difficult to produce /h/ in their day-to-day conversation which is why phoneme /h/ is mostly replaced with other s...
