I am in the middle here since I couldn't find direct indigenous words for somethings. There are many of these words which are said unnoticedly romancing it foreign lingua thereby loosing it original or local dialects. Here are some fruits which i couldn't find Yoruba word for;

- Cashew
- Tangerine
- Fruit
- Mango
- Water Melon

I didn't include Apple because it not a fruit found here on our soil. Been that it is imported, foreign names would be imported alongside it too. What are the indigenous names for the fruits listed above? If the names could not be provided, does that mean the fruits were foreign fruits or the indigenous words for them are extinct? Would also appreciate other Indigenous names apart from Yoruba which those fruits are called.

Make I Google am first!

for cashew, Yoruba people do call it "caju" or "cashu" as it sounds
tangerine, at times they call it "tanga" or "osan" although "osan" is also orange
for mango, they call it "mangoro" as it sounds
