Some Issues In The Grammar Of Modern Yoruba A. Afolayan

Some Issues In The Grammar Of Modern Yoruba A. Afolayan. I believe this might help. Komitsuki (talk) 11:24, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Possibly non-existent source

I tagged two references to DELAB International Newsmagazine as needing a better source. After some searching, I can find no evidence that this magazine actually exists. Worldcat has no record of it, and mentions of it are limited to Wikipedia and pages which use Wikipedia as a source. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 08:08, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Relegation of Ajami to the Writing Systems Section

Abal126, hi. Can we please talk about this revert, bro: ? -Oluwatalisman

Unspecified references

There are citations of Mumin & Versteegh 2014; Hofheinz 2018, Hunwick 1995, but the complete titles, dates etc are not present in the bibliography. Also, the text says that 'the earliest documented history of the people, which is traced to the latter part of the 17th century, was in the Yoruba language but in the Arabic script'. If such a text as a 17th-century history of the Yoruba people exists, it would be very important and should be mentioned in the article 'Yoruba literature', and it ought to have its own article, too. However, I suspect that this is due to some confusion and that there is no such text. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 15:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Videos

The videos under the Varieties section are no longer expandable into a larger view. Is this a new technical update or can it be rearranged as it was before? They are too zoomed out to be watched this way. Waliyullah Tunde (talk) 22:45, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

They seem to be working fine for me, maybe something on your end? - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect Pronunciation

It appears the pronunciation of "Yoruba" at the start of the page is taken from this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilorin. Evidently, it does not reflect the pronunciation of the name of the language and should be replaced with a correct audio file from a native speaker of the language. ~2025-43996-60 (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Omission of Sharẹ

Sharẹ AbdulConsole 08:02, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

I mean no offence, this is a wonderful job period. However, sharẹ is missing on that map, replaced by a non Yorùbá speaking community (Tsaragi). I can provide you with historical evidences sir to back the claim of it's existing. I would love an edit on the map sir.

Sharẹ is a community on the border side of Igbonina, the Headquarters of Ifelodun, Kwara State.

Thanks for your service, sir.
