Please how do you type the Isoko vowels with the dot underneath the letter E and O?
Thanks
Thanks for this great work. Please note the video on part 1 (alphabet and digraphs) has a low audio output and we struggle to hear it. Please can you work on it to get a better audio?
Thanks for the great work.

Thank you so much for your observation. I will try to make another video on this post, a better one indeed. Keep visiting and point out any areas i will improve on.
Thank you. Who kobiruo gaga!😂
Thanks.
However, I need you to clarify between isoko and urhobo and who uses what? growing up I was told 'degwo' is isoko while 'megwo' is urhobo.

This is why you need the vocabularies. With them you can make sentences. When people are talking you can easily get what they are saying.
its a long history but somehow you can know the different if you are more use to one of the languages.
Merigwo is Isoko, while Migwo is Urhobo
you can look into the map of Delta sate you will see communities populated by isoko and urhobo they are brothers and sister and has the closest culture ever, both singing and dancing and food traditionally
though you will still have some challenges but this is why I and other Isoko language teachers exist to guide you through.
I also have some blog post regarding words that sounds alike even though they have the same spelling
that's my email. I do not have your contact or Facebook name so I couldn't contact you.
