I guess this is delta state, that Igbo language you have up there is not the same please

We have...
1.Aniocha
2. Ika
3. Ukwani.
They sound like Igbo but are not Igbo. And the are very different from one another. I know this because am an ika man but from Edo state

Edo man please face your state and stop dragging delta into confusion

The language of ukpe is Ekue. Akoko is a very linguistically diverse area.

Do you classify it as a language or a dialect?

What about you how many languages does your state has?

But they have a general language that they all speak, which is hausa. Just like the "Yoruba" states have their different dialects but speak the general yoruba.

If we were all to speak all our various languages, we would be worse than the tower of Babel

OVIA NORTH EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND AKOKO EDO LOCAL GOVERNMENT MUST SURELY COUNT AS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH HIGHEST NUMBER OF LANGUAGES IN EDO STATE.

You know Edo state

We Have 88 In Adamawa. The state with most Tribes in the whole of Nigeria

Kalatium:

who cares what you think

northern cow, there is nothing like 60 languages in kaduna. ignorant is your biggest challenge.. difference in dialects doesnt mean the language is different.. for instance IJAW language is made up of many dialects... igbo language also made up of many dialects... yoruba language also has many dialects... same with hausa, kanuri, and every major tribe..

Athemisia:


So funny are we talk about the south south and not mention Pidgin English.

I will say pidgin English is the most interactive language in the South - south.
Even an illirate old mama of 90 yrs can interact with strangers in English language (pidgin) onlike other regions which they can't express themselves, unless in their native dialect .

Vinnie2000:


BOOM!! Wat I have been saying since the beginning of dis thread..

Am a Deltan but some persons commenting abt dis issue are not..

Super Eagles Ex Captain Sunday Oliseh(dat name is likely Ukwuani/Kwale) Boldly stated recently dat He is NOT Igbo n does not being addressed as Delta Igbo!!

Dorathy of BBNaija calls herself Delta Igbo n Ikas were very Angry@her!!..
.

As I have said earlier, D Ndokwas/Ikas have stuck to dier guns that they re NOT Igbo n don't even like being cald Delta Igbo!!

It is Aniocha Oshimili pple (Asaba, Issele-ukwu) that doesn't mind.(because of dier closeness to Onitsha..)

So let's end d arguments..D tribes are Igbo-related or Igbo descendants but have Carved a Niche for demselves hence u hear titles such as Dein of Agbor...

thank you!!

you have repeated this crap many times in this thread,,,,,most oshimili and aniocha people accept being igbo unlike u ika people not because THEY'RE CLOSE TO ONITSHA but because their history point to their ancestors migrating from the east (igboland)
stop twisting history!

Athemisia:

What about Urhobo in ofoni??

Could be.

I am Igbo by tribe but I ashame of Igbo tribe.We are cursed.

naijaman2225:
IT MAY BE MORE THAN THAT. OVIA NORTH EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND AKOKO EDO LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVE LOTS OF LANGUAGES.

Apart from Benin, which other language is spoken in Ovia North?

Sufferingboy:

You are just busy looking for attention, you have not even finish ordinary university education to know your left from your right..

Don't end up a failure with a degree of no value..

Etinosa1234:

Vinnie2000:

Ndokwa (Kwale, Ashaka, Ogume areas, sb just told me Umutu n Obiaruku are part of it..)

Ika (Agbor, Igbodo, Umunede, Abavo,etc..)

While Anioma or Enuani (Idumudje-ugboko/uno, Issele-ukwu, Ogwuash-uwku, Asaba, Illah, Ibuza)

Ur town/village should be amongst d last group..

I am grouping Dem like dis 4 proper understanding of readers..

Yes,it is in the last group.

Ondo state ;

1.Ondo language ( Ondo west LG,Ondo East LG,Ileoluji ,Idanre,Ore/odigbo LG).

2.Akure lanaguage (Akure south ,Akure north,Ifedore LG).

[/b]3.Akoko language(all the 4 Akoko local governments)[b]

4.Ikale language (okitipupa,irele,some part of ore/odigbo LG)

5.ilaje language (ese odo LG,ilaje LG)

6.Owo language ( owo LG ,ose LG)

7.okeigbo language ‘similar to ile Ife language’

8. ijaw language ‘izon’ (some part of Ese odo LG)

Ondo language is the most widely speaking Langs in Ondo state cutting across 5 local government areas.

I think Akoko have different language.
What they speak is diff.
Unless you're talking about the general Yoruba language.

Athemisia:


What about Pidgin English??....
as for Urhobo, there are about 17 different dialects alone in delta State. There are others right here in Bayelsa and also in Edo state...

There is none in Edo state

naijaman2225:
IT MAY BE MORE THAN THAT. OVIA NORTH EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND AKOKO EDO LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVE LOTS OF LANGUAGES.

It is not up to

in Edo south, you have the
1. Binis which make up to 95 percent majority in
Edo south
2.The Igbankes(Igbo
3. Ijaws
4. Itsekiris in Ologbo
5 Utesse and Egbetta are yorubas, their oral account of migration points to that, Egbetta migrated from Oba Akoko in Ondo state, their oral migration account talks about the fact that the full meaning of Egbetta means 200 in 3 places. It might not be the yoruba you are used to, I think it is a yoruba dialect if studied,
