In this place men and women use completely different words and dialects to call the same thing. The interesting thing is that not only is the tone or pronunciation of these words different, but their letters also have nothing to do with each other. These are two completely different languages.
How do both understand each other?
Obviously now this question must be coming in your mind that if languages are so different, then how do they communicate with each other? In fact, despite speaking differently, the men and women here understand each other’s language very easily. Due to listening to both the languages since childhood, they have complete understanding of both the dialects. While men call the cloth ‘Naki’, women use the word ‘Ariga’ for it. For men, the word tree means ‘kitschy’, while women call it ‘okwang’.
How do children learn this unique language?
In Ubang, whenever a child is born, whether it is a boy or a girl, the first thing he learns is the women’s language (Araseke) only learns to speak. This happens because in childhood, children spend most of their time with their mother and other women in the house.

The folk tale behind it
