Standard Yoruba has its origin in the 1850s, when Samuel A. Crowther, the first native African Anglican bishop, published a Yoruba grammar and started his translation of the Bible. Though for a large part based on the Ọyọ and Ibadan dialects, Standard Yoruba incorporates several features from other dialects

Ajayi just translated the Bible into Yoruba
And transcribe the Yoruba sounds into suitable Latin alphabet
Then made a dictionary
Wikipedia is not a final say website

Central Yoruba wasn't created, it was only adopted.
Central Yoruba were used From Oyo to Lagos, to Osun to Kwara and Far away Togo.

Investigative:

Hahahahhahaha
Portuguese was the first European in Nigeria
And Yoruba couldn’t provide a commodity they could buy
Only later after 30 years + they manage to engage in slave trade
Yoruba are not good business men hence have no reason to have a currency
Also have none
Yoruba are not known for metal casting how did they produce
Metal money
Ego igwe
During this period
Northerners are still dealing with Dan Fodio

This is rubbish bro.
Kindly show me evidence of the trades Igbo engages before 1900.

The Igbo novel written by Ajayi crowther wasn't intelligible to over 99% Igbo people..
Igbo dialect obtained from Freed Slaves in Sierra Leone was used..Only Bonny Igbo, Opobo and Ndoki could understand the Igbo dialect used..This is why the book was not acknowledged as the First Igbo literature

that's because 99.9% of Igbo were illiterate then
They had to rely on a Yoruba man to write the first Igbo book

Typical Igbo, always coming up with all sorts of lame and spurious excuses. But whatever excuses you come up with, it still doesn't detract from the fact that a Yoruba man authored the first book authored in Igbo. That's enough.

When Igbos come last in anything, den go rewrite their own tales and fake rubbish to say they are ahead..

Comedians.

The first book written containing hundreds of Igbo words and language interpretation was done By Olauda Equiano before Ajayi crowther.. Olauda Equiano was the first Writer to use Igbo language in his books, not Ajayi crowther
