humberjade:Dialect is the Reason we have many tribes here every chukwu is igbo and every edoid language should remain in the edoid tribe after all their ancestors for thousands of years have traded and built an empire within Benin all these Yoruba dialect are still Yorubas, I don't know maybe the independence regionalism was best westerns that have always known about each Other existence I don't know though but during the first republic which region was most developed? |

The Ibos were slaves to the Igalas for over two centuries. We4all: |

Ttalk:abeg Awori and ijebu which tribe are they ? |
| Re: Nigerian States With The Least And The Most Languages by We4all: 8:18pm On Oct 02, 2025 |
madridguy:Interesting! But how come the Igalas became the minority if they ruled over the Ibos years ago? |

With the exception of 1 or 2 states in the SW(I stand to be corrected) no state in Nigeria has only one language. |
| Re: Nigerian States With The Least And The Most Languages by Ttalk: 8:23pm On Oct 02, 2025 |
zelnababa:We are not taking about tribe but the dialect, though Satisense used language to replace dialect so as not to complicate it. |
| Re: Nigerian States With The Least And The Most Languages by Abagworo(m): 8:27pm On Oct 02, 2025 |
Imo is the only State where only one language is spoken which is Igbo. No other State in Nigeria has a single language. Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi have other languages that aren't Igbo. |
| Re: Nigerian States With The Least And The Most Languages by zelnababa(m): 8:32pm On Oct 02, 2025 |
Ttalk:oga, Awori and ijebu is dialect under Yoruba just like egba, ijesha ondo, Akoko, ekiti,etc |

Enugu cannot be only Igbo, I have Idoma cousins from Enugu. |
| Re: Nigerian States With The Least And The Most Languages by Ttalk: 8:40pm On Oct 02, 2025 |
zelnababa:Did I dispute that? I don't understand your point. We are taking about spoken dialect and not tribe here. Satisense replaced dialect with language for better understanding. Many dialects exist in Yorubaland and some are extremely variant or deep away from the binding Yoruba we speak. |

Ttalk:Get yourself some education A language is different from a dialect. What you are calling languages are various Yoruba dialects. They are not languages. Una no go sabi something una go dey make noise |

HenryThegreat1:I was looking for Delta on the list but couldn't find it. It's obvious it's a fake list. The number of languages in Delta North alone is something else. |
