About the Language
Igbo, the language of the Igbo people and a national language of Nigeria, is part of the Niger-Congo family. It is one of the major languages of western Africa, spoken by over 20 million people. Igbo is a tonal language -- one in which meaning may be conveyed with differences in pitch. Like many other West African languages, it has borrowed words from English and other European languages. Numerous dialects exist, and the standard written form, which uses a Latin alphabet, is based on the Owerri and Umuahia dialects.
