Beginner's Yoruba with Online Audio

---

Yoruba, one of the national languages of Nigeria, is spoken by more than 30 million people worldwide. Yoruba-speaking populations are mostly located in southwest Nigeria, but also in parts of the Benin Republic and Togo, as well as in diaspora populations in the Americas, Caribbean and Europe.

A variety of Yoruba is used in rites of the Santería religion of the Caribbean, and many Yoruba words can be found in Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion. Yoruba is also used in many other Afro-American religions in the Americas and the Caribbean. In fact, Yoruba is one of the most-widely spoken African languages outside of Africa.
