Sama Raro

Hello Having deleted the promotional content Sama Raro hope your life is better now? Nigerian pidgin language Wikipedia will never be able to make waves. Firstly, British Empire is not a promotional material but you deleted it, secondly Isaiah Ogedegbe and others are promotional materials yet you leave them. When talking about Creoles or pidgins such as this, mention is always made on what they are based on, even if not explicitly but implicitly. For instance, other language Wikipedia, the article about Nigerian pidgin is always classified as English creole or English based creole which means that forever people will know the parent language of such a pidgin or creole. Activities on this Wikipedia is always monitored and articles about Isaiah Ogedegbe has repeatedly been deleted on English language Wikipedia, German language Wikipedia, simple English Wikipedia and others but is here. So the international standard organization will be too glad that they assigned iso 639-1 language code to Haitian creole (ht), iso 639-2 language code to other patois and creole such as Jamaican patois (Jam), Sierra Leone creole (sil), but iso 639-3 language code to Nigerian pidgin language (pcm). I wonder what Nigerian pidgin orthography is without proper English. Look at some commands and menu in this Wikipedia, you will still see proper English language in everything concerning this Wikipedia. Did you see Yusa kontribushons? View Yusa groups? Even the mistake of writing the contents of the Babel userbox as it concerns Nigerian pidgin language user is written in proper English. What is the history of this language without mention of English language? By the way, Benin language, Scottish, and some others are standalone languages but they fail to make it into Iso 639-1. Scottish even has its own orthography but it nothing written in Scottish Wikipedia can ever come top on search engines. Scottish is not the same language family with English, the two languages have different histories. Yet Scottish is never promoted. Naijá language will never see the light of the day. The British will see to that. With more resources more than you or anybody else interested in this stupid and useless Naijá language Wikipedia and useless orthography. Mark my words (Haussawa (tok) 09:15, 5 January 2024 (WAT))

every language changes to a standard form over time, except in situations where the language is dying. Consider these old English orthography and sentences:

In Wycliff'e Bible of the 1380s, the verse Matthew 8:20 was written: Foxis han dennes, and briddis of heuene han nestis.

Decipher this:

Englischmen þeyz hy hadde fram þe bygynnyng þre manner speche, Souþeron, Northeron, and Myddel speche in þe myddel of þe lond, ... Noþeles by comyxstion and mellyng, furst wiþ Danes, and afterward wiþ Normans, in menye þe contray longage ys asperyed, and som vseþ strange wlaffyng, chyteryng, harryng, and garryng grisbytting.

So maybe Naijá language will end up dead sooner or later as you want it to remain mundane.
