Both Bini and Benin are correct names for the language. The Oba himself has confirmed that on several occasions.

Oh really. I have only ever seen the language spelt as Bini.

"Awin," that's interesting. I've seen up 5 different Yoruba names today for this same Tamarind fruit. It further shows the regional variations in Yorubaland for naming items used in the Yoruba lexicon. Someone said it's called "Ayin" in the Ijesha dialect of the Yoruba language and someone from Ondo City in Ondo State ALSO clearly gave a different name entirely.

It's just like the original Yoruba steamed beans batter delicacy called Moyin Moyin (shortened to Moin Moin without the letter Y) in Yoruba language which has an alternate Yoruba name called Olele which still refers to the same thing based on regional differences in dialects and food among the Yorubas.

Amugeh in my side while growing up, bini language, seun can complete the character

Never

Now you've heard.

Get close to elderly people more.

LordReed:
Edo

Get close to elderly people please.

The language is Edo with sub-languages and dialects.

The mother language remains Edo, not Bini, or Benin (Both words came recently from outsiders connecting the language to the region the kingdom domiciled at.

AlphaTaikun:
That's fascinating... "Layunmeme."

What does it literally mean in the Ondo dialect of the Yoruba language?

Literally means something very very sweet in taste.

ekimogun777:
Literally means something very very sweet in taste.

@ekimogun 777, Whoa! "Layunmeme" means: "Very sweet in taste." I like the FACT that you Ondo folks some of who I personally know for decades now are always very proud to speak your dialect of the Yoruba language anytime and anywhere. It adds up to the enrichment of the "cultures and sub-cultures" of the over 80 million strong Yoruba folks spread in major population centers worldwide.

I appreciate your feedback here. Cheers.
