Dear all, I have a new friend who was born in Ode Omu then lived in Lagos.He is in England on his own waiting for his wife and children to come over in April.The question that I would like to ask is what is his home language as I would like to write him a few messages and learn a few frazes to make him feel welcome and show him that I care.Please let me know.Colin
- Odeomu is in Osun State, which is largely Yoruba; Lagos, too is largely Yoruba. So your best guess is that he speaks the Yoruba language. When it comes to finding Yoruba phrases, you could try Google or you could look for a book on West African languages. Note, however, that Nigeria has over 500 languages, and that while Yoruba is your most likely bet, I am in no way certain of my answer. In the future, you're more likely to get quick answers at the Reference desk/Language. Picaroon 22:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
