The latest printed and interactive calendar chart is Yoruba. This has been produced as part of the THRASS pilot project in Oyo State, in association with SUBEB (State Universal Basic Education Board). Please let us know if the translation and/or pronunciation can be improved.
Yoruba (native name èdè Yorùbá, 'the Yoruba language') is the third most spoken native African language. The native tongue of the approximately 28 million Yoruba people, it is spoken, among other languages, in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo and traces of it are found among communities in Brazil, Sierra Leone, northern Ghana and Cuba. Apart from referring to the aggregate of dialects and their speakers, the term Yoruba is used for the standard, written form of the language.
The traditional Yoruba area - currently comprising the southwestern portion of Nigeria, the republics of Benin and Togo - is commonly called Yorubaland. The Nigeria component comprises today's Oyo osun, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara, and Lagos states as well as the western part of Kogi state. Geophysically, Yorubaland forms part of a plateau bordered to the north and east by the Niger River.
