Urhobo language
Ukwuani is a Southwestern Igbo language spoken by the Urhobo people of southern Nigeria. It is spoken in Delta and Bayelsa States.[failed verification]
Urhobo has a rather reduced system of sound inventory compared to proto-Edoid. The inventory of Urhobo consists of seven vowels; which form two harmonic sets, /i e ɛ a o ɔ u/ and /ĩ ẽ ɛ̃ ã ɔ̃ õ ũ/.
It has a conservative consonant inventory for an Edoid language. It maintains three nasals, and only five oral consonants, /ɾ, l, β̞, j, w/, have nasal allophones before nasal vowels.
According to Anthony Ukere, Urhobo has two tones, a high tone and a low tone. These can also combine to form rising and falling tones. Rose Aziza is a professor of linguistics who does work on the phonology of Urhobo.
Urhobo has the subject–verb–object (SVO) constituent word order as illustrated with the example below:
