In other languages and cultures, the definition of "proverb" also differs from English. In the Chumburung language of Ghana, ""aŋase" are literal proverbs and "akpare" are metaphoric ones". Among the Bini of Nigeria, there are three words that are used to translate "proverb": "ere, ivbe", and "itan". The first relates to historical events, the second relates to current events, and the third was "linguistic ornamentation in formal discourse". Among the Balochi of Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is a word "batal" for ordinary proverbs and "bassīttuks" for "proverbs with background stories".
