About the Language
Yoruba, the language of the Yoruba people, one of the largest ethnic groups of Sub-Saharan Africa, belongs to the Niger-Congo language family. It emerged as a distinct language around the 4th century BCE, and today has over 20 million native speakers, primarily in Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. It is an official language of Nigeria. Until the 17th century, Yoruba was written in the Ajami script, a form of Arabic. Beginning in the 1800s, the Latin alphabet was adopted for written Yoruba, although some letters are not used.
