You wrong. Bayelsa has less than 7

Absuchat:
Bayelsa alone has over 100 languages.

Ashawoman82:

You don't get it.

Accents and dialects are not counted, it's only languages. Yoruba is one lang with many accents.

Edo in South South for example has over 10 languages that each set of speakers don't understand each other.

Okpella person won't understand Benin no matter how hard he tries.

Diversity in languages is beautiful.
Among all these countries and languages mentioned and beyond,Chinese holds the exalted position as the world's most spoken Native language with about 1.2 billion speakers in China alone, with several millions more in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia.
Spanish is the second most spoken Native language with between 500 and 600 million native speakers across Spain,USA, and Latin America.
Arabic is the third most native language with about 380 million speakers across North Africa and the Middle East.

MrsAminaBello:
languages are not created.
It's a natural God given ability.

If language is natural, then ask yourself why a Yoruba or Igbo boy from a rich family is speaking English and can't speak his own dialect. Do you mean the boy naturally came with the English language?

So out of 524 in Nigeria, I can only speak 4.

Forget all these nonsense people are saying. How can Nigeria get 524 languages. If you ask them to mention them, you'll notice that 50 are dialects of one language. In Igboland for example, we have many dialects and that's what the stupid people are classifying as languages to divide the people more.
We have abakaliki , omambala, owerri, ikwerre, agbor, Onitsha, ngwa etc dialects, but are all same language of Igbo, which you'll understand if you listen deeply.
For me, Nigeria languages doesn't surpass 12, others are dialects.
Southern Nigeria has 5 languages, which are Igboid, yoruboid, edoid, izon and ibibiod.
So where did the 524 languages came from?
There are a big difference between language and dialect. What they are referring as language is actually a dialect.

Migrants

Omoapena:


Varies in what sense?

If you say their English varies, does it mean they aren't speaking English or what do you mean?

The way they speak their English is quite different
For instance, ekiti, egba, ondo are all your yoruba speaking tribe but their tribal language is quite different from one another.
NB There's a yoruba language they can all understand and communicate with but their tribal language varies

baike:
What's the population of that first country?

About 11 million

According to the 22nd edition of Ethnologue (2019)

Nigeria has about 250 ethnic groups (Hausa, Yoruba, Igala, Itsekiri, Shuwa Arab, Kanuri, Edo, Ebira, Tiv , Angas, Berom, Bachama, Ibibio, Efik, Ijaw, Urhobo, Isoko, Ebira, Idoma, etc). A vast number of the supposed 524 languages listed on that list are a combination of Nigerian indigenous languages and their various DIALECTS. Some of the major dialects of the Yoruba ethnic group are Oyo, Ibadan, Egba, Ijebu, Awori, Ijesa, Ekiti, Ondo, Owo, Kabba, Ketu, etc.

Most of the languages listed for the U.S., UK, Netherlands, Israel, and Canada, etc, are the languages belonging to immigrant groups including the indigenous languages spoken in those countries.

I don't understand.

Did you also count dialect, idolect as languages,?

Some aren’t sounds like Yorubas at all o

Omoapena:


Ondo Yoruba is still Yoruba,their own way of speaking it is just different.

Just as UK English speaking is different from US English speaking but both are English language...

[quote author=Realtord43 post=129086881][/quote]


Are these indigenous languages for each country
Or that of foreign dwellers join?

Moniya4Real:

It's accents, but they are still called Yoruba...

Which of the God would you follow, the one that hears all the languages or the one that hears only one ( Arabic) be wise.
