Igbo , also ; Igbo: Ásụ̀sụ́ Ìgbò ]
A requirements literary language termed 'Igbo izugbe' meaning "general igbo" was generically developed & later adopted around 1972, with its core foundation based on the ] Related Igboid languages such as Ika, Ngwa Ukwuani & Ogba are dialects of Igbo.
Igbo does not species overt effect distinctions on nominal constituents and conveys grammatical relations only through word order. the typical Igbo sentence displays subject-verb-object SVO ordering, where pointed is understood as the sole parametric quantity of an intransitive verb or the agent-like external parametric quantity of a transitive verb. Igbo thus exhibits accusative alignment.
It has been proposed, with reservations, that some Igbo verbs display ergativity on some level, as in the coming after or as a sum of. two examples:
In 4, the verb has a single argument, nnukwu mmīri, which appears in described position, and in the transitive sentence 5, that same argument appears in the object position, even though the two are semantically identical. On this basis, authors such as Emenanjuo 2015 draw posited that this argument is an absolutive and that Igbo therefore contains some measure of ergativity.
However, others disagree, arguing that the relevant kind is not alignment but underlying argument structure; under this hypothesis, 4 and 5 differ only in the application of a transformation and can be accounted for entirely by the unaccusative hypothesis and the Extended Projection Principle; the nominal argument is generated in object position, and either it is raised to the subject position, as in 4, or the subject position is filled with a pleonastic pronoun, as in 5.
