Local authorities and people are trying to preserve the traditional culture of the nation in the context of the English-preferred young people
. Not clear the different rates of words in 2 types of languages exclusively for How much is men and women in Ubang exactly. However, there is enough examples that the opposite sex here says two different languages. For example, for the word "clothing", men will say "nki", while women will say "ariga", the word "trees" will be pronounced by men as "Kitchi", and women say is "Okweng"
These words are not only different in pronunciation, but also different about writing, but they are understood in a meaning, as long as anyone can remember. Undie told the BBC: "It's almost like two different vocabulary. There are many words that men and women in general. Meanwhile, there are also other words that are completely dependent on gender. They have not pronounced the same and there are no identical writing. They are completely different words ". But interesting that both men and women in Ubang can understand each other perfectly. This may be due to lives with parents, both boys and girls learning both languages. But up to 10 years old, boys will have to speak in men for men. "To a certain age, men discover themselves do not use their exact language
And when he started moving to a language for men, it means he has grown up. Otherwise, that is considered unusual. Nobody will tell him that he must switch to speaking men's language, "said Oliver Ibang village chief. The difference of language for men and women in Ubang.

But most locals believe in religious theory that God created Adam and Eve as Ublang, then gave them two different languages. God also intends to give each ethnic two languages, but realizes that there is not enough language for all communities. This is a gift exclusively for in Ubang and this village becomes different from all other communities around the world. While, the anthropologist Chi Chi Undie believes that the use of two languages is the link The fruit of "two gender culture", where men and women operate in two separate areas and live in separate worlds, rarely reach each other. However, she admitted that this is an uncertain hypothesis, because two gender culture exists in many parts of Africa, except for different languages for men and women. Ubang people are always proud of those Unique differences in language. But today, when English is favored by young people in Nigeria, Ubang's two-language culture stood in front of permanent risk. The reason is that two types of languages in Ubang are not synthesized and written in a systematic way, so their future depends on the younger generation. Unfortunately, fewer young people can talk in their mother tongue smoothly. To preserve language values, many teachers in Ubang have called for solutions to publish textbooks In Libang, even novels and movies. The Nigerian Language Association said, 50 out of the 500 language of this country can disappear in the future, if not taking conservation measures. The native language teaching Nigeria in schools is also part of the national policy on education, to promote the importance of cultural conservation, as well as promote national unity.
