Well, it happens in all languages. The English people also corrupted Latin, French, etc names to get what they call them today e.g Agnes in Latin is pronounced as Anyes but since the /ny/ sound doesn't exist in English they read it the way it was written. Another such example is Ignatius where -gn- is written to sound as -ny- and pronounced as Inyasi. The first missionary priests pronounced them the Latin way hence the reason for the older generation to say them so
@@luhyalanguageandculture I was also shocked to find out. The funniest one is Phoebe which people say as Foe-ebee (unfortunately I don’t how to spell phonetically)
@naliaka9318 So they literally say Foebe ama fibi? Lakini that name Phoebe is just here to play with our tongues. How on earth does Phoebe become Fibi and not Foebe😄
@@luhyalanguageandculture yes they say Foebe instead of Fibi. I agree though, that is a tricky name. If you’ve first seen it in writing it’s confusing 😂😂
