You keep posting these dumb ass analogies as if they make sense
Chinese and Japanese?
Go make your fruity loop beats nikka
Jesus Christs education system really failed you guys, a simple concept like this is lost to you
It's a legit question.
How many separate ethnic groups exist in Nigeria? How many sizable ones exist?
Could you identify a surname of a person from one of the tiny ethnic groups?
The Latin name you used as an example points to language. People from Latin America could probably guess the nationality of someone with that surname based on the frequency of it in one former colony over the other. Non latin person sees it as a generic Spanish surname.
The poster was saying that as outsiders, we see West African last names....and because of the visibility of prominent Nigerian Americans, we see and note them as "Nigerian" names.
*We might hear an Asian last name, and not be able to immediately place the country or ethnicity of the person.
Ok your a sensible person that makes sense I can break it down for you
it’s by bolded, Bro each ethnic group in this world has their own naming and or name background it’s very easy to do, for instance among Asians we can tell just by the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese by looking at their names where they come from or what their ethnic group is, the same concept is applied here. You can tell Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba apart just by looking at their last names/sur names.
I think your problem here is that you don’t know what Their actual cultural names look like amongst each group. That is something you have to be among them to know or at least study the names behind their culture to figure out
