YOruba
Yoruba is a language of West Africa with over 25 million speakers. It is spoken, among other languages, in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo and traces of it are found among communities in Brazil, Sierra Leone, northern Ghana and Cuba.
Currently, we offer language classes to meet undergraduate students’ foreign language requirement and cultural classes to prepare Africanist graduate students ready for their research stay in any Yoruba speaking community. Below is a list of courses that we offer at the moment:
