I think the best is the one from oyo... When ilaje people speak yoruba fear go catch you, then the yoruba from ijebu... You need 4ears... All join, all na yoruba

There is the indigenous dialect of each yoruba area.
But all yoruba's speak ONE SINGLE yoruba.
"Ma puro,ki o ma jale" is the same everywhere.
