Who We Are
The Igala people are an ethnic group in Nigeria, primarily found in the Kogi State, which is situated in the central region of the country. The Igala language, known as Igala, is a Central Sudanic language and is the mother tongue of the Igala people.
Igala is spoken by a significant population, and it serves as a vital means of communication within the Igala community. The language has its own unique linguistic features, including a distinct phonology, grammar, and vocabulary. While Igala is primarily spoken, there are also efforts to promote its written form and literary traditions.
The Igala people have a rich cultural heritage with traditional customs, art, music and dance playing important roles in their society. The community has a history that spans centuries, and their traditional institutions, such as the Igala kingdom, have contributed to shaping their identity.
