Igala is a language of the Yoruboid branch of the Volta–Niger 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, Dekina, Ogugu, Ibaji, Ife. The Agatu, Idoma, and Bassa people use Igala for primary school. Igala is related to Yoruba. The Igala language as well as Igala culture and tradition has influenced other languages and cultures around the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers. Some Bible translation, including St. John's Gospel, was produced in 1948 . Historically, John Clarke in 1848 reported (from an informant either in Jamaica or in the island of Bioco) words of the language of Iddah: ata - man onobre - woman una - fire omi - water omotshu - stars imo - nose
