The Benue-Congo languages are a major branch of the Niger-Congo language family, primarily spoken in central and southern Nigeria, as well as parts of Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This group includes several languages, such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Edo, which are widely used by millions of people in West Africa. The Benue-Congo region is characterized by its rich cultural diversity and linguistic variety. These languages are known for their complex tonal systems and noun class structures, which are common features in many Niger-Congo languages. The study of Benue-Congo languages contributes to understanding the historical and social dynamics of the communities that speak them.
