(Redirected from Ogoni language)
Cross River language group of Nigeria
They fall into two clusters, East and West, with a limited degree of mutual intelligibility between members of each cluster. The Ogoni think of the cluster members as separate languages, however.
The classification of the Ogoni languages is as follows:
East: Khana and Tẹẹ, with around 1,800,000 speakers between them, and Gokana, with about 250,000.
West: Eleme, with about 90,000 speakers, and Baan, with around 50,500.
