⚠ '''ɟ''' and '''y''' are specific consonants, '''ε''' and '''ɔ''' are specific vowels of the Yoruba language (similar to ''e'' and ''o'' respectively). The marks ''«'' '''´''' ''»'' and ''«'' '''`''' ''»'' indicate the so-called tones (a higher or lower level of the voice during the pronunciation of the syllable). The Yoruba language belongs to the Kwa branch of the Niger-Congo language family. It is spoken by more than 20 million people in Nigeria and the neighbouring countries.
