TOP 5 Funniest And Hilarious Dialects In Yoruba Land by HighIQ(m): 1:11pm On Jun 27, 2017
These languages are the top funniest and hilariois language in Yoruba land of south west Nigeria according to HighIQ. How funny do you find these languages?

1) EGBA DIALECT- The speaker of this language are from Abeokuta and its environs in Ogun State. Apart from the fact that the Yoruba Bible emanated from this particular language. It is also very apealing and funny to the hearing. The language is very unique in vocabulary and expression and can be regarded as the funniest language in Yoruba land. A native of Egbaland can easily be recognized in a community and they are often given the nickname."Babal'egba" for man and "Mamal'egba" for woman.

2) IJESHA DIALECT: They are mostly from Ilesha,and other Ijesha environs in Osun state. If an Ijesha man from Ilesha or its environ is to act as a commedian in an event or a movie get ready to laugh out your guts because this set of people are very funny when they communicate with their local language. Some funny and special words and sometimes abusive words are common in the language. The popular actor Olarenwanju Olayinka popular known as Baba Ijesha became the choice of many producers in Yoruba Movies due to his amazing and funny Ijesha language.

3)IJEBU DIALECT: This language is also very funny. No wonder mamy movie producers love to use the popular Yoruba actor Tayo Amokade in most of their movies. The language is very funny and weird expecially to other Yorubas not from the territory. They are mostly spoken by those from the eastern part of Ogun state.

4) BADAGRY DIALECT: This language is mostly spoken by those living at Badagry along the boarder between Nigeria and Benin republic and the Ajase people. The popular Yoruba actress nicknamed "SURUTU" came into limelight after expressing herself in this language in many Yoruba movies of which many Yoruba movie fans really love and found so funny.

5) OYO DIALECT: This is also a very funny language due to some weird and funny modifications in some of the Yoruba words in it. For instance words like "Shi' is pronunced as "si" etc. The speakers of these language also have some weird experession for major common words that cannot but make a non- indigene of this area laugh out loud
Which of these languages do you find funniest? lalasticlala seun

ijebu is damn funny...

Especially the way they inflect their yoruba.
most like "me mo pe" instead of "MI o mo pe".

Texts can't do justice to this sadly, you have to hear it to understand.

Combine this with a natural knack for insults and "orogun" and voila, you have a comedy zone.

grin

As for Oyo (Ibadan ki ni so), I need not comment on it. it gets a lot of insults, some deserved, most not.
"Sophisticated tinz" I guess. grin


And OP, the language the Yoruba Bible was written in is Oyo dialect o. Dunno where you saw it was Egba
