Overview of the Igbo Language
Before you start, read this quick overview of the Igbo language.
Igbo is one of the most spoken languages in Nigeria. The Igbo language (Asụsụ Igbo) is the native language to the Igbo people living in Igboland in southeastern Nigeria. Igboland consists of the states of Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia, Anambra, Rivers, and Delta. Igbo is also considered a minority language in other surrounding states in Nigeria and also in the country of Equatorial Guinea in West Africa. As of 2007, there are 24 million speakers of the Igbo language. It is part of the Niger-Congo language family, and it is a part of the Volta-Niger branch in particular.
