So this is what the world is like if we openly accept racial differences?

I dont know if i should celebrate or deride the fact that they are now openly considering africans to be subhuman illiterates. On one hand, its admitting the truth, on the other, it removes any compulsion for the blacks to strive for standard non-nigger behaviour.

I really dont think you understand liberal ideology at all.

If some one asks you if you can translate into the language of the choice you do so. as long as profit exceeds cost. or there is no cost.

If there was a 75 million person market for bbc articles translated into Klingon they would do it.

There is nothing racist about translating... That only make sense if you hold beliefs that their language is lesser than yours.

I get where youre coming from about the profit thing, but if you show this to a common person with no context other than "its for africans that speak english poorly", I promise theyd think its racist.

Is there even a standard spelling for this language, or is BBC making it up as it goes along?

>>139171003
>That only make sense if you hold beliefs that their language is lesser than yours

Because that's what it is.

It's a dumbed-down version of English that removes nuances for context appropriate circumstances.

It's literally inferior.

We don't even have to do anything anymore they just make themselves look stupid an racist by writing things like this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Pidgin
>The most important difference to other types of English is the limited repertoire of consonants, vowels (6) and diphthongs (3) used. This produces a lot of homophones, like thin, thing and tin which are all three pronounced like /tin/. This circumstance gives a high importance to the context, the tone, the body language and any other ways of communication for the distinction of the homophones.

Use your brain. If you were a Nigerian and all you had to read was shitty Nigerian produce media with production values slightly better than elementary school papers or the nationally funded BBC news service which would you read?

They were already tons of people who speak pigin reading it most likely. But it's probably just as uncomfortable to read for them as it is for us.

Regional dialects don't need to be perfect because they aren't the language of law. Precision and consistency is not the objective.

Okay, so supposedly there is a standard spelling:
>Naijá has its own sound system that is very similar to those of other English-based creoles of West Africa. The language also has its own spelling system. This spelling system or orthography was adopted by the NLA in 2009 as the harmonized way of writing Naijá. Note that all Naijá spellings used here are given in that spelling system.
http://www.hawaii.edu/satocenter/langnet/definitions/naija.html

But the BBC seems to be a little bit different, e.g. using "dey" instead of "dé," although perhaps that's just a variant in order to write stuff in ASCII characters, like writing German "ö" as "oe." I hope 4chan doesn't butcher this.

Correction: It appears the "dey" being used frequently by the BBC (also in Wikipedia) is not the "dé" (is/are at) mentioned on the U. Hawaii site, but their "de" (progressive marker). So there are definitely different groups spelling the words differently.

Ive been waiting for this day

It looks like they're not even internally consistent with the spelling. I see "de" used all over the links and static headings that are the same on every page, such as:
>Waka go wetin de inside
>De one we dem de read well well
>De thing wey we de do
>How dem de take use am
>Mama and papa de check
>De external site no concern BBC De way wey we de take go external link/Link policy
But I've checked several articles, and I don't see a single usage of "de" in them. I think somebody used "de" for both "the" and the progressive tense marker ("is"/"are" in front of a verb) in the links/headings, but whoever translated the articles used "di" and "dey," respectively.

Orwell didn't imagine how far Big Brother could get by screeching "dats rayciss" at his detractors

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/bbc-digital-pidgin-language-service
https://archive.is/21oXS

How do you go about writing down a language that is almost entirely oral? For the staff of the BBC World Service's new Pidgin news site, it all started with listening. Lots of listening.

Despite being spoken by an estimated 75 million people in Nigeria alone – and as a first language for five million people – Pidgin has, until this week, been marginalised online. "In terms of its text life it lives pretty much on social media," says Miriam Quansah, BBC's digital lead for Africa.

To begin the process of converting a primarily oral language into an agreed written form, the World Service interacted with people across Africa who spoke it.

The team who built the service (some of whom can translate Shakespeare into Pidgin) travelled to west Africa to speak to young people, visit universities and consult professors and experts in the area to observe how they communicate.

Quansah, who leads the digital aspect of the project, says standardisation is an evolving thing, reliant on audience feedback. "It’s a very interactive language and that was our approach; we know that everyone will have an opinion on the Pidgin we produce so we will ask speakers to tell us whether we are using certain words and phrases in the right way."

The service will bring language diversity to the news and current affairs that west and central African audiences receive, where Pidgin is one of the most widely-spoken languages.

Adverts, radio stations, films and music are already produced in Pidgin, but news organisations have traditionally shunned it.

West African Pidgin English was used as a simple trade language between Europeans and Africans during the Atlantic slave trade in the late 17th and 18th centuries. It became a mix of English and local languages, which is why it's often offensively referred to as broken English.

>>139190832

Despite its popularity, people speak Pidgin with varying levels of fluency. And, as it is not studied in schools, it doesn't exist in a standardised written form. Because Pidgin is seen as an informal language, there is sometimes a stigma around speaking it, which Quansah thinks the new service is helping to break.

"There is a stereotype in some parts of the continent about being honest that Pidgin is your first language; people prefer if you speak English. In Nigeria however, people are very proud of speaking Pidgin," says Quansah, whose own Ghanian mother was skeptical about the project. "West African parents don't see Pidgin as a serious language, so they were stunned to find out the BBC were doing this. They get it now that they see so many people consume and live this language."

The decision to make this a digital only service was based on the fact that African people prefer to read content on their mobile phones. "We have always wanted to be able to offer relevant content to a younger audience and to an audience that is under-represented in the media landscape across Africa," Quansah says. "Being digital only and using the languages we are now going into enables us to offer important news and current affairs to audiences we may not have reached before."

Although Pidgin is spoken in different forms across Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, there are a lot of words that unify them all. Quansah says the World Service team are "remarkably and pleasantly surprised" by the amount of text content they have been able to produce, but that BBC Pidgin’s long-term success will be in a visual form, including video and data journalism. "If we are telling stories that can touch an audience in Sierra Leone, Benin, Ghana or Nigeria then we are doing our jobs," she adds.

>>139190854

Pidgin will soon be joined by 11 more new services in Africa and Asia, as part of the World Service's biggest expansion since the 1940s, thanks to a 2016 funding boost from the UK government.

BBC Pidgin will provide a mix of local, regional and international news current affairs and analysis. The production hub is based in Lagos, the commercial capital, but reporters in Ghana, Cameroon and elsewhere in Nigeria will also be gathering local news.

Other new languages that will be offered by the BBC World Service include Korean, Gujarati, Telegu, Marathi and Punjabi for India and Amharic and Oromo for Ethiopia and Tigrinya for Eritrea.
