I think Yoruboid languages are a blend of Igboid language and Kemitic Egyptian with touches from Edoid, Akokoid, Nupe and etc but I believe the language is basically Igboid and Kemitic Egyptian. How that came to be is a mystery. It is akin to how Britain came to be speaking a Germanic language when the people are over 70 percent genetically Celtic. A huge population of Kemitic Egyptian mixed with an aboriginal population in the Yoruboid area and imposed their language. These people also have remnants among the Wolof and etc going by the language but the bulk of them settled in the Yoruboid areas apparently, going by the language. Some Awos among the Yoruba know an ancient language. This language should be studied to see how it is similar to the Akokoid, Igboid and Edoid groups. There is an old language classification of ede ife or defoid consisting of Yoruba, Akoko and some others but it has been relegated in favour of YEAI, Yoruboid, Edoid, Akokoid, Igboid as they are all equally related according to linguists but I think Yoruboid and Igboid are more related, possibly because I am more exposed to Igbo. I also believe all those language including even the strange Ijoid are legitimate ancient Ife languages. It is also possible that the whole Yoruba were originally Akokoid before the Egyptians came. An Awo was saying the old Yoruba word for house was Arigidi and this name occurs only in Akoko today. How we got so different languages within so little distances will never be explained easily I believe. The origin of language is perplexing and headache inducing.

Okay, thanks.

Please house. ..I'm confused. Is it reg b4 call up letter or the other way round? And do we need statement of result for reg.?

ROSSIKE:

Could anyone post something in Ukaan? (Greetings or something of the sort).

Umo - weldone (or something)
Mabai - Come and eat (I'm not sure)
Feti baro - Leave there or leave that place.

Can't remember the rest..

They are an unaffiliated Akoko people who historically had interactions with Yoruba, Edo and Ebira people (Today However, they would describe themselves as Yoruba)
Under the Defoid language family, there are two major groups. The Akokoid group (Arigidi, Erusu, Ese, Oke Agbe, Igashi, Ajowa Etc) and the Yoruboid group (Igala, Yoruba, Itsekiri, Ede Ife, Ede Ketu, Etc) ... I think Ukaan falls under the Akokoid cluster.
The Akoko Area (Ondo and Edo states) is a tower of Babel, where you will find a language in every square mile..... Today, most speak Yoruba.

So to your question, they were historically neither Yoruba nor Edo, but today, They are seen as Yoruba ... sort of.
I think you get it now?

Yea, thank you..

Good morning nairalanders. Please I need clarification on this. Yesterday I was surfing the net as usual and then typed 'What is Umo in Akoko?' and the search results I got made me hunger for more. I discovered from various research(mostly by foreigners.) that in Akoko alone are different languages and dialects of the Yoruba language. One of such language is 'Ukaan'. According to the theses 'Ukaan' is a language spoken in Auga, Ishe, Kakumo and anyaran of Ondo and edo States(Akoko North in Ondo and Akoko-edo in Edo). Aside that 'Ukaan has its own dialects like ligau, Isheu etc.

I am from Auga in Ondo (my father's place, while my mum is from Ikare, both in Akoko North-East). My Dad's language is very different from my mum's. You just have to learn it to understand while that of my mum is much easier. Once you understand Yoruba, you can get everything they say. It was in our of those papers that I saw the different classification of Akoko North. Ikare was grouped under Yoruboid and they are a dialect of Yoruba while Auga was grouped under Ukaan and their dialect is ligau or Igau. My mum once told me Auga should have been under Edo instead of Ondo.
So now the question is are the Ukaans Yoruba, Edo or they a tribe on their own?

Onye Maryam means Maryam's mother in Ukaan.
