Orilẹ̀-èdè Yorùbá, a language spoken by over 50 million people in West Africa, is a rich and complex language with a long history. It is the official language of several countries, including Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, and is also spoken in parts of Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast.

Yorùbá is a tonal language, which means that the meaning of a word can change depending on the tone in which it is spoken. There are three main tones in Yoruba: high, mid, and low. Each tone can be combined with a variety of consonants and vowels to create a wide range of words.
