Subject: How to tell apart the languages of Nigeria? Path: you​!your-host​!ultron​!the-matrix​!mechanical-turk​!goatrectum​!plovergw​!plovervax​!shitpost​!mjd Date: 2024-04-21T12:19:17 Newsgroup: misc.test.nigerian-languages Message-ID: <0dc82529cb8a403d@shitpost.plover.com> Content-Type: text/shitpost Suppose I'm looking at a sentence of Hausa, Yoruba, or Igbo that has been transliterated into English.
