Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by OoshaRe: 11:14am On May 25, 2018 |
It's amazing to note that the Yoruba language has an equivalent name for anything in English language. The language is so vast and broad. Here's a little compilation of some animals and the Yoruba equivalent of their names. Ps: I posted this on twitter so I'm a bit lazy to start typing again so I attached the pictures instead. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Wonderful! I must be honest, at my age I didn't know all of these before now, just yesterday, I was listening to King Sunny Ade's music and he mentioned kolokolo, I don't know what kolokolo is in Yoruba, so it was impossible knowing its translation in English, but now I know, thanks to Niaraland, @OP, God bless you......ori e maakan oke 14 Likes |
