Yoruba (Èdè Yorùbá) is a language spoken by an estimated 30 to 40 million people, primarily ethnic Yoruba people in West Africa. It is a pluricentric language spoken mainly in Nigeria and Benin, with communities in Sierra Leone, Liberia, other parts of Africa, the Americas, and Europe. The remnants of the Yoruba language in the Caribbean, known as Lucumi, serve as the liturgical language of the Santería religion. Additionally, many Yoruba words are used in the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé and other Afro-American religions in the Americas and the Caribbean. Yoruba is closely related to the Itsekiri language (spoken in the Niger Delta) and to Igala (spoken in central Nigeria).
