Talk:African proverbs
African proverbs are idiomatic expressions relevant to the situations and happenings discovered on the african shores. These proverbs are not just given or made base on literal work but strictly on the happenings envisaged within the vicinity of the happenings.
To list all proverbs of the African continent is a disserves. How would South / North America and Europe / the East feel if they were bundled together. All nations are unique, and so the countries. It would better reflect the diversity if listed per country in Africa. Then one can also see where influences from other areas of the world come from. Africa will have a large number of links to the French, Portuguese, Indian and other languages. I am sure it would be interesting to see how a proverb was adapted, adopted etc.
[edit] Possible correction
When I consider a relation to 'oak tree' of this one: "Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree." then I would write this as: "Evil enters like a splinter ([1]) and spreads like an oak tree." --82.95.107.74 16:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
