Ogoni languages

The Ogoni languages, or Kegboid languages, are the five languages of the Ogoni people of Rivers State, Nigeria.

They fall into two clusters, East and West, with a limited degree of mutual intelligibility between members of each cluster. The Ogoni think of the cluster members as separate languages, however.

The classification of the Ogoni languages is as follows:

• East: Khana and Tẹẹ, with around 1,800,000 speakers between them, and Gokana, with about 250,000.
• West: Eleme, with about 90,000 speakers, and Baan, with around 50,500.
