Igala is a language of the Yoruboid branch of Defoid, itself a branch of the Benue-Congo language family, spoken by the Igala ethnic group of Nigeria. In 1989, an estimated 800,000 spoke Igala, primarily in Kogi State, Delta State and Edo State. Dialects include Ebu, Idah, Ankpa, Ogugu, Ibaji, Ife, and Anyugba. The Agatu, Idoma, and Bassa people use Igala for primary school. Igala is related to Yoruba.
