They mostly follow the Kano dialect as that's regarded as being "standard" Hausa. I'm in Kaduna (also in the North), where it's always written Sabon Gari.<BR/><BR/>The southern pronounciation might come from how it's written. Pronounciation and spelling are only vaguely related anyway. You often see signs that have been spelled phonetically. For example, a village near me is called Barkallahu but it's often written as Barikalau.<BR/><BR/>Your site is only real Google result for <A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=bct&q=%22sabon+giri%22&btnG=Search" REL="nofollow">Sabon Giri</A> and Google even asks if I meant Sabon Gari.Kevinhttp://www.caboose.org.uk/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-83268053175811148902007-05-23T09:52:00.000+01:002007-05-23T09:52:00.000+01:00<I>and play the Yoruba game of spraying money</I><BR/><BR/>who told you that was an exclusively Yoruba thing...or Yoruba originated?TRAEhttp://www.traedays.com/blog/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-69363553642658798152007-05-22T00:18:00.000+01:002007-05-22T00:18:00.000+01:00Its actually Sabon Gari, spelling wise it is correct too.<BR/><BR/>Sabo -> New<BR/>Gari -> Town<BR/><BR/>Except Giri means something else, which could be Girigi as in a plane or something of respect.kazeyhttp://www.nigerianbloggers.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-57335780274016959742007-05-21T18:49:00.000+01:002007-05-21T18:49:00.000+01:00I think it might be phonetic difference at work. In the South, it is pronounced Sabon Gari and most often spelt that way. In the North (at least in Kano), it is pronounced Sabon Giri and also spelt that way in Latin script.Jeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07506241936615649754[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-28438674331328224422007-05-21T18:44:00.000+01:002007-05-21T18:44:00.000+01:00I'm pretty sure it's <I>Sabon Gari</I> not <I>Sabon Giri</I> (means something like 'New Town', I think).<BR/><BR/>Also <I>achaba</I> not <I>achamba</I>.<BR/><BR/>Hausa spelling can be a bit flexible though, I've seen at least three different ways of spelling the name of the village up the road from me.Kevinhttp://www.caboose.org.uk/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-83431195419257503392007-05-21T17:33:00.000+01:002007-05-21T17:33:00.000+01:00Question: I went to secondary school up North, and i always saw it spelt as 'Sabon Gari'.

It's sadly a common phenomenon around the world.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the prostitute and you asking her “I ask her how much for the night?" <BR/>That was a real rib cracker.<BR/><BR/>Did you think she operates a charity? I mean she can have 6 men in a night. Why settle for one? Is she your wife or girlfriend? You need to get with the programme.
