The Idomoid languages are spoken in central Nigeria. Idoma itself is an official language spoken by nearly a million people, and Igede by about a quarter million.

Languages

Ethnologue includes Eloyi, though that assignment is outdated. (See Plateau languages.) They also call the non-Yace branch "Akweya" despite the fact that Yace also goes by that name.
