This study conducted a lexicostatistical comparison of the Ngwa dialect of Igbo and Standard Igbo to determine how related they are and their level of mutual intelligibility. Using the Ibadan 400-word list and further applying the language assessment criterion of 1990, this criterion which places the level of mutual intelligibility at 70%, the analysis in this project work showed that 57.5% of the basic vocabulary items are cognates shared between the two languages This shows that while Ngwa and Standard Igbo share a considerable number of common words, their level of mutual intelligibility falls below the 70%, this suggest that speakers of one variety may experience some difficulty fully understanding the other without prior exposure. Also,the study found that 42.5% of the compared lexical items show clear differences in form or meaning, reflecting areas of lexical differences that contribute to the reduced intelligibility between the two varieties. In all, the 57.5% similarity shows moderate linguistic relationship, while the 42.5% difference show distinctive lexical developments in the Ngwa dialect compared to Standard Igbo. Therefore, although both belong to the same linguistic group, the findings suggest that Ngwa is a different dialect rather than fully intelligible with Standard Igbo

Among languages of Africa, Igbo is considered in the literature to give a model instance of vowel harmony based on the [ATR] feature. A record of the regular and the irregular examples are exhibited here, guided via autosegmental phonology. Along these lines, the present examination looks at vowel harmony and disharmony in Igbo on the premise of a corpus of exact information drawn from noncontiguous provincial dialects. The reason is to present empirical data to demonstrate the conventional depictions made on the basis of the standard Igbo. It likewise demonstrates that exemptions are noticeable, as instances of disharmony, which have not gotten satisfactory consideration in the writing, and would like to attract regard for them by concentrating on them. Inclining toward the autosegmental phonology for this record is down to earth as the hypothesis all the more exquisitely represents the inside constituents of the CV skeleton and the relative autonomy of a V-put as against a C-put, essential to the operation of vowel harmony. More than one vowel is observed to be opaque over the dialects, however share regular formal portrayal.

This project begins by highlighting human rights as a special category of human existence/protection. A historical overview then outlines conceptual roots in early Igbo traditional society. This project answer the question “question where there human rights in Africa traditional society? A study of the Igbo of Nigeria” This project will tell you the overview story of how human right where protected during the traditional time using the Igbo people of Nigeria as a study in this topic.
