This is amazing. More grace to your efforts.

This lady speaks thesame Ejagham as my self. If she's from Nfuni, my grade grandfather migrated from there to ossing. Thing is, we need to trace the Origin of the Ejagham people, map it and let our children know their ancestry. As Ejagham migrants proceeded to the British Southern Cameroon from Nigeria, the language change. It sounds different from central Ejagham but the center still holds. We understand each other. By the way i must comment the sisters efforts to teach Ejagham to the diaspora. GREAT job.

[@okornnku3974]

Well done on preserving our Ejagham language culture

[@FastSound23]

She is doing a great job. Etung people in Nigeria speak similar language but slightly different. One can still understand. Great job my sister.

[@richardo.5781]

😂 this Ejagham Cameron version funny oo, I'm literally lost

[@besema.1994]

This is a wonderful resource for those of us who didn’t get the opportunity to learn our mother tongue. Thank you so much for this. I’ve been wondering where I can find something like this to learn my parents language. I greatly appreciate this effort 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Is there any written material to learn to spell the words?

[@Resulam]

Thank you very much for your kind inputs. Please consider supporting Resulam for producing other materials better than this one. You can check our channels to see what we are capable of

[@felixntui4729]

Congratulations sister for your initiative for the protection ,preservation divulgation of your father's and ancestors language ! Bravo .

[@kokonyebessi7961]

Ejagham (pronounced EH ZAH GAH, remembering that we don`t pronounce a hard J in Ejagham) is a language of the Ejagham (aka Keaka) people of Cameroon - a member of Manyu - as well as the Ekoi of Nigeria. I invite you to read some of books written about the Manyu people which distinguishes Banyangs (Upper and Lower - who speak Kenyang), Ejagham and the other cultural groups. This is a great effort to keep the Ejagham language of the Manyu people alive.

Nye Bassi..

[@ninae7461]

Njemaya pronounces the J

[@obitabs1716]

Thank you for this comment. I always correct people about this, I am not Bayangi. I am an Ejagham girl. If we want to preserve our culture and language, then we need to know these differences and correct people about them.

[@akobaruk7536]

Nice video I greatly appreciate 😍

Thanks very much.For long i thought i will never have chance of learning my language i cant wait for part

[@susanca8443]

This is Amazing. Can you recommend an online group where we can share the culture?

[@etaegbe7977]

Thank you very much for this great lesson. We could eventually group these to for a lesson like words related to family, body parts, house, school, clothes...

[@bbyn]

Has a part 2 been made yet?

[@emmanuelnchor440]

To all those who say this is not Ejagham language, I beg to disagree. I am Nigerian Ejagham from Bendeghe Ekiem, yet I understand almost 70% of what this lady is saying. We are all related to the beyangi people.We are blood! It will be "blasphemous" for anyone to say we are not.The linguistic differences may have come about as a result of migration and interaction with other tribes.But these are Ejagham people.Period!

[@nufifeefeelanguage-resulam722]

Thank you for the information

[@Ayishaeducates]

This is amazing! Thank you!!! Would you be able to upload more videos for Ejagham speaking people who can learn how to speak and write English?

[@Resulam]

Thank you for message. We will try our best. Please kindly support us if you can. We have many projects on our table

[@ketuya8946]

'Ejagham spoken by the bayangi people?!!' more like the Ejagam language spoken by the Manyu people

[@SoulsSojourn]

The graphics on the screen have no direct relationship with the lesson. They are instead distracting. It would have been more helpful to provide written illustrations

[@Resulam]

Thank you for your comment sir. You are right, and we know that we need to add text and images to illustrate that. If you browse our other videos on the same KZbin channel, you will realize that we have already done what you are asking, for many other African languages. It's very time consuming and we lack means to accomplish our goal. If you yourself, can contribute in any way, even for contributing for the writing you are mentioning, you are very welcome.

[@EriduTV]

Great lesson, thank you. Ejagham is Bantu which the Hebrew language was derived from. I have a video showing over 40 Bantu words in the Bible.

[@evendif2272]

How do you say the days of the week in ejagham?

[@PrincessOkpa-dr3qb]

It's so sad I can't understand my own language. I'm from Akamkpa LGA, Cross river state.

[@obenbate4115]

Your job is commendable. Keep it on. Your caption is misleading. Ejagham people are not bayangi people. Ejagham people don not stem out of bayangi people. It is disgracefully annoying to say ejagham people are bayangi people. We all are found in manyu division but that doesn't imply that ejagham is bayangi. Ejagham is ejagham and bayangi (boh manyang) remains bayangi. We share cultural similarities does not mean one is the other.

[@Resulam]

Thank you very much for this insightful comment. We will amend the mistakes

[@ruthtabe3968]

This comment really made my day. Please let keep educating people that EJAGHAM are not Bayangians.

[@enoharrey79]

I really love ur video till the end.keep up the good work. If u need some consultation, pls call ur brother.

[@neveroutworked254]

Good. This is the cameroonian version. I have Ewelle ancestry.

[@JAM17970]

I appreciate all the work you are doing in reviving the Ejagham language but I need to bring a small point of correction. Ejagham is a language spoken by the Ejagham people of the ancient and illustrious Ejagham Kingdom that was the epicenter of the Bantu revolution and not the Bayangi people. The Ejagham Kingdoms historic homeland stretches across parts of cross river states in Nigeria and the parts of the Manyu division in Southern Cameroon. But through migration Ejagham is Spoken in about 27 countries around the world. So to say that Ejagham is the language spoken by the Bayangi people is not just wrong or inaccurate but what is worst it is an unpardonable adulteration of facts and the historic priority of the Ejagham people because the Ejaghams precede the Bayangi people by few centuries and are much larger in size and cultural significance. Furthermore, Ejagham is both the name of the language and the Clan. The Bayangi who also inhabit manyu division in the south west province of Southern Cameroon speak Kenyang which is a completely different and much belated language from Ejagham though it is one which contains some borrowed Ejagham words but Bayangi is most definitely not Ejagham. It is like saying that French is a language spoken by the Italian people. For more information on the history of the Ejagham nation listen to Dr. Sandy Onor the Author of the book entitled Ejagham Nation as he offers a brief summary of his book on the Ejagham nation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmqUan2Fp82bbNE ; also see the Ejagham Tradition for more information ejaghamtradition.org/

[@enowdemuller4449]

Thnx very much, I also commented on that blatant error.

[@mrhimselfalone7657]

Ekoi Bantu

[@felixntui4729]

Sorry but your approach is wrong ,she never said another people didn't speak , she can talk only for her self and her people reality ,it would be more constructive you could praise her efforts , contribute with additional infos,what you're doing is unproductive,or create an account too, then promote your own view point ,why are we Africans always doing nothing ,but once a person try just jump out of the bushes the contradict,why na ! Congratulations sister for your courage and initiative .

[@akopolycarp6596]

Accurate correction.

[@abboss4013]

This is the same in Cameroon?

[@obenbate4115]

No sir is not the same

[@samuelakem2034]

Listen, thank you for promoting Ejagham. There is one correction you need to do. Don't call Ejagham people Bayangi people. You can say Manyu, it will make sense to everyone from Manyu Division. You can help correct other people from Cameroon who call Manyu people Bayangi to stop using Bayangi for everybody.

[@Resulam]

Thank you for the correction

[@AgborTabe-r8y]

A small correction The word BAYANGI is a wrong appellation of BAYANG. BAYANG is a tribe. The BAYANG people speak the KENYANG language.... An EJAGHAM indigene IS NOT A BAYANG. Therefore it is TOTALLY WRONG to say EJAGHAM is one of the BAYANG language....

[@ruthtabe3968]

Love this. Let start speaking up of our real identity.

[@enoharrey79]

Well u forgot Ossing

[@enowdemuller4449]

U made a very big mistake, u must correct it in your next video. Ejagham is spoken by the Ejaghams, bayangi is spoken by the bayangians. Ejagham is spoken in both Cameroon and nigeria ( in cross river) some villages speaking Ejagham in Nigeria are: ojock, ekok ate, etome, agbokem waterfall, etc

[@Resulam]

Thank you for your help. By the way, do you know this language? If so, would you mind getting in contact with us to develop it? Thanks

[@enowdemuller4449]

Ya,its my mother tongue, its endowed with many dialects: the 3 main dialects ( varieties) are : Ejagham njem aya, Ejagham ngun aya, Obhang . The greatest problem is to come out with a standard Ejagham, and to do that many people need to be contacted from all parts of the great Ejagham kingdom.

[@abboss4013]

This is the same language they speak in Cameroon

[@Resulam]

@@enowdemuller4449 please send us an email here [e-mail] et we can eventually work together to bring this language to daylight

We are all from the kingdom of MANYU with the origins from Nigeria KALABA some from South East ,South South and Cross River and the EJAGHAM PEOPLE HAVE the largest portion of the KINGDOM of MANYU THAT runs from Eti nkem RIGHT TO NJEM AYA DOWN TO Ndep Aya that is Nigeria so please this need to be corrected

[@mohamednantoumenzoh4806]

Bayangui are speaking Kenyang or Kitchui but not ejagham which is for Ejagham people

[@samuelakem2034]

Bayangi (Bayang) people don't speak Ejagham, they speak the Bayang language. What you have is Ngunaya Ejagham. Please don't call Ejagham people Bayangi people.

[@Resulam]

Thank you very much for the clarification, and sorry if we mistook. Is the video at least helpful? :)

[@AgborTabe-r8y]

A small correction The word BAYANGI is a wrong appellation of BAYANG. BAYANG is a tribe. The BAYANG people speak the KENYANG language.... An EJAGHAM indigene IS NOT A BAYANG. Therefore it is TOTALLY WRONG to say EJAGHAM is one of the BAYANG language....
