Pidgin English in Ghana is like an integral part of our senior high school culture. A typical Ghanaian is likely to start speaking pidgin English with their mates when they get to senior high school. Some of the words change depending on which part of Ghana you attended high school in. And just as your guest said it's more common among males having a friendly conversation.
The story (with their Ghana pigin) is funny and instresting. I understand perfectly. Their pigin is a mixed of their local language and good language too
Funny how I can understand their pidgin and I speak it to some extent too because I have stayed with them for years so I think I’d cope quite well.. Anyways I really enjoy their pidgin English. Good video.
Pidgin English in Ghana is highly spoken in the senior high schools. And its normally mixed with the local languages, Hence its unique from the Nigeria pidgin. Nigeria pidgin is Raw English, Ghana's own is complimented with the local language.
Nigeria pigin is a mixture of English n different languages in Nigeria, some words or slangs Ghana use in their pigin are from Nigeria...... Nigeria pigin has great influence in Ghana n Africa because of our movies (Nollywood), music, culture n Nigerians living there.
Ghanaian pigeon is a mixture of our local dialect such as Twi, and mostly high school jargons soo Ghanaian pigin is different to speak even among most of the youth.cus every place has it way of speaking.accra pigeon different from taadi pigin.like wise kumasi cus of the mixture of local dialect soo it very unique and good to speak among schools folk
I heard pidgin English started in Sierra Leone then went across all of West Africa to Cameroon before it came back to Nigeria then finally to Ghana. Each country changes its terms and mix them with their local languages.
I believe pidgin is a broken English and it started when Ghanaian started learning English to trade with the English so it has no formula you pronounce the English words you can pronounce and the ones you don't know you mix it with your local dialect
@@beeba5508 That could be true but we also know that the returned free slaves from Liberia and Sierra Leone brought a new set of pidgin language that's now spread all over West Africa.
Pigin English in Nigeria started in the Niger Delta region in Nigeria, it was when the Portuguese first made contact with them to trade, n it spread throughout the country....... Nigeria pigin is a mixture of English n different Nigeria languages. It has influence in other Africa countries including Ghana through our movies (Nollywood), music n Nigerians living there....... Some words or slangs that Ghana use in their pigin are from Nigeria, n besides ghanians prefer speaking their native tongue.
Nigeria pigin has now become a national language in Nigeria, it's written, it spoken by everyone, it's used in our movies (Nollywood), our music, radio....... Nigeria pigin has had great influence in Africa, n it's a mixture of English n different Nigeria languages....
One cannot speak pidgin with parents or elders, pidgin is mostly spoken amongst young men or students. It is mainly learnt and spoken in secondary schools not at home. Unlike Nigeria where almost everyone understood and speak pidgin.
Ghana, sierra leone and some part of Cameroon pigeon English is a little bit different but we can understand each other very well I have friends from this countries we speak pigeon and we understand each other very well.. Ghanaian girls don't speak pigeon I don't know what is wrong with them girls it's just crazy
I believe Ghanaian pidgin is like 70% similar to Nigerian Pidgin so for any intelligent individual who understands that language is dynamic and picking meaning out of language shouldn’t follow a strict set of rules, if you’re a Nigerian you should understand about 60-70% of Ghanaian pidgin. Pidgin is simply the ‘broken’ English that our forefathers who were exposed to the whites or slave masters were speaking so all Africans have some form of their own pidgin.
The guy you interview is not well vest in ghana pidgin,bye is.. catch you later,..make I throw you means let me escort you..tin up means stand up.make we choo means let's eat...adey road top means am on my way.
GH pidgin is not precise We don't even write it . Nigerian pidgin is written and can be spoken by old people. That of Gh it can not be spoken by old people and is not official.

in fact, a Ghanaian lady speaking pidgin is considered "spoilt".

It was developed in secondary schools. Based on which school the individual attended will have some variations.

Nigerian pidgin has action but the Ghanaian pidgin is relaxed. Up T is a short form of Up Town. Abroad

Ghanaian pidgin and Nigerian pidgin are not similar at all 20% similar is not similar at all. Ghana pidgin sounds like somebody who's learning pidgin.

That is how it is spoken.....True authentic High school/tertiary/street Ghanaian origin sounds.
