The Ede language is a member of the Niger-Congo language family, primarily spoken by the Ede people in southwestern Nigeria. It is part of the Yoruba dialect continuum and shares similarities with other languages in the region. Ede is used in daily communication and cultural expressions among its speakers. Ede has its own unique phonetic and grammatical features, making it distinct from neighboring languages. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language through education and community initiatives, as many indigenous languages face challenges due to globalization and urbanization.
