Answer:

He fills his English with Igbo language patterns and rhythm.

Explanation:

Achebe makes a strong use of Igbo words and expressions to create a new English and show how language and communication is a living organism, completely adaptable and innovative.

Igbo is one of the languages spoken in nigeria, which in itself is full of different adaptations, dialects and accents. Using this language together with the English language, the author questions the supremacy of the English language and raises the importance of other languages.
