Evidence That The Igbos Are The Oldest Group In The South Lies Along The Coasts by SlayerForever: 4:33pm On Nov 27, 2021
This language map shows what the coast may have looked like perhaps a thousand years ago.

In the map there are 47 languages scattered across the coast. Out of that 47 about 42 were either partly formed from Igbo and other languages or have Igbo descent. This may support the fact that many other tribes met the Igbos on the coast and thus were influenced by the enduring Igbo tongue as they stayed close to the Igbos. Also many were formed by one Igbo ancestor and another non Igbo ancestor. Check Yakurr ethnicity.

If Igbo impacted so much languages it is likely they were the biggest tribe around. Much much much bigger than Nigeria wants people to believe. There is reason to believe that the Igbo tribe occupied an area far and wide into present day Yorubaland. And a recent research by an Igbo linguist Maazi Ogbonna Okoro revealed that the Igbo area still stretches far into Kogi state to the North. If the Igbo area was so large it is only probable that they occupied the nearly the entire coastline down south. Along with the Efik people(another very old tribe). These other small tribes along the coast with languages numbering near 50 probably came around later on from external migrations. Or may have been brought by Igbos from their far journeys in other lands. There is also the possibility they existed in their area all the while with the Igbos but didn't have the vigoristy or influence of the Igbos, and the Igbo wide population spread didnt allow them grow in population much. Those who are big today absorbed a lot of Igbos and it shows in their large number of Igbo speakers today.

If in doubt of the Igbo language's presence in this other tribes tongue one can carry out an independent investigation to verify this claim.

As big as the Yoruba is in the South it does not have as much as 40 languages it has influence on or birthed. I stand to be corrected.

I think it’s the other way round. It’s like America claiming to be ancestors of all the tribes that are in US today because they speak English. Your people were slaves remember and just like the black negros in America carry their masters name until this day. You guys speak your slave masters languages and answer their names. You have been able to form your own language with it like we have broken English, pidgin and Jamaican have their own English. Learn your history from me for free.

The only occasion that brought igbos close to the sea was slavery, when lots of igbos were shipped off the coast as chained slaves. Migration also played a crucial role in spreading their population across the neighborhood who are mostly in minorities. A large population would easily have greater influence over a few.
Therefore,Slavery and migration were largely responsible for igbos settling among the hinterlands.
