Yoruba in the United States

Who speaks Yoruba, and where they turn up.

Yoruba (Yorùbá) is a Niger-Congo language spoken by about 45 million people, primarily in southwestern Nigeria and Benin. Tonal, with diacritics indicating tones and vowel quality.

Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, NJ / NY, DC and Baltimore have major Nigerian-Yoruba communities. Demand skews toward immigration and healthcare for older relatives.
