Everything about Defoid Languages totally explained
The
Defoid languages constitute a branch of the
Benue-Congo language family. The name of the group derives from the fact that nearly all of the ethnic groups who speak member languages refer to the city of
Ilé Ifè as their place of origin - Defoid =
èdè ('language')+
ifè (Ife) +
oid. The Defoid language group consists of two branches,
Yoruboid and
Akokoid.
By far the most important member of this family in terms of number of speakers is
Yoruba, with more than 20 million speakers in
Nigeria,
Benin,
Togo and elsewhere. Other important languages in the group are
Igala and
Itsekiri, the latter of which shares substantial intelligibility with certain dialects of Yoruba spoken in Nigeria's
Ondo state.
