Delta Ibo

Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEL : Delta Ibo


Delta-Ibo (sometimes spelt Delta-Igbo but considered derogatory when used in this form) refers to a group of languages related to the Igbo language and spoken in Nigeria.

They are mostly confined to Delta State (hence the name) but some of them (like Ukwuani) are spoken close to the borders of neighboring states like Rivers.

Languages that fall into this group include Ukwani, Agbor and Aboh.

Most Delta Ibo prefer the name to be spelled Ibo rather than Igbo, emphasizing their cultural and linguistic differences from the Igbo people.
