Abstract:

The Igbo Language is one of the major Nigerian languages. It is predominately spoken in the following States: Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Edo, Rivers, Delta and parts of Edo. Greenberg (1963) classified the Igbo language under the Kwa subgroup of languages of the Niger-Congo phylum. There are various estimates of the size of Igbo population. The 1991 census puts the population of Igbo at about ten point eight million. While, other sources stated that they are about thirteen million. It is also crucial to note that this figure comprises Igbo’s both at home and in diaspora. This dictionary entitled A Practical Igbo-English Dictionary is the first dictionary of its kind on the language.

The dictionary analysis consists of glossaries of the language. Apart from the English translations, equivalents of several entries are given. Likewise, Igbo –English word-list, English-Igbo word-list, Igbo simple sentences, Idiomatic expressions and proverbs are all contained in the dictionary. 

Mohammed Aminu Mu’azu is professor of Linguistics in the Department of Languages and Linguistics, University of Maiduguri-Nigeria. Enendu Cynthia is a Graduate of English language and Linguistics, Department of Languages and Linguistics, University of Maiduguri-Nigeria.
