@Consultant
You have to be specific. There are different Edo languages. Are you talking about the Bini, Ishan, Afamai or Ora Language. Though Bini is the most popular language in Edo State. Followed by Ishan Language.

Since I posted the message, i have done a little more research so I do know that there are different dialects. But I will take anyone, so I am happy for the Esan tutorial.
