Questions
Yoruba, answered.
Why do Yoruba scripts need tone marks?
The tones change meaning, so without marks a reader can pick the wrong word. We check them before recording.
Can a Yoruba script be read by a Nigerian actor who speaks a different dialect?
The standard is understood across Yoruba regions, but accents differ, so we cast for the target audience.
