Itshekiri name their twins Akowa and Toti, and Yorubas name Taiwo and Kehinde, obviously dissimilar names. How do both sound distantly related to you?

Itshekiri is adulterated/broken yoruba language..

People can name their children how they like.

The Edekiri languages are spoken in a band across Togo, Benin and Nigeria. The group includes:

the Ede dialect cluster, including Ife;
Itsekiri (Nigeria, 500,000 speakers); and
the Yoruba languages Ulukwumi, Mokole, and Yoruba, by far the largest of the cluster with about 20 million speakers.

Itsekiri is not yoruba oooo

It is not standard Yoruba, Accepted.
do you know the meaning of the word 'dialect' ?

"their yorubaness" grin

Igala people should also accept their yorubaness... igala sounds a lot like yoruba.

GodMode:
They have stayed away from yoruba people for long

It has become adulterated yoruba language...
The culture is also adulterated..

But their Nigerian mentality won't make them accept their yorubaness..

First, Itshekiri is not a yoruba dialect. It is a full language on its own. Second, there is not but one bit of Itshekiri trace in Rivers state. Or, is this your sleek way of trying to claim oil-rich Rivers State?

itsekiri is part of yoruba but problem started when states where shared and itsekiri was placed in delta state...if itsekiri speaking areas were made part of ondo state, there would be no bases of argument. arugbo is an ijaw area in ondo state but if u ask most of the young indegens of arugbo ijaw they might say there are yorubas but in truth they are not....besides check itshekiri names and names of towns u'll notice they are all yoruba names e.g. oristefemi, omawummi, ayo oristejafor e.t.c. towns e.g ode itsekiri e.t.c.

@ OP

Thank you for the post. Those places are in the western part of Nigeria. I used to think Yoruba dialect is spoken in other nations of west Africa until now.

Oh my goodness.... English is a Germanic language together with Dutch, Frisian, Low German (all siblings) and children of Proto-Germanic, while French , Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish are all Romance languages (children of Latin) - the structure of English is Germanic, although with many borrowed words.

Itsekiri on the other hand has a Yoruba structure, the Yoruba element of Itsekiri is not borrowed.- Without Yoruba words, itsekiri would simply cease to exist. The division is political.

Count 1-10 in Itsekiri for a start.
Even that your Onuwaje name, I know what it means.
