Mokole

Mokole (or Mokollé, Mokwale, Monkole, Féri) is a Yoruboid language spoken in the villages surrounding the town of Kandi in northern Benin. Its speakers constitute a sub-group of Yoruba originated people that are closely associated with the Bariba people of Benin.

They represent the northernmost group of Yoruba speaking people in West Africa and are an 'island' completely surrounded by the Bariba. Their dialect is most closely related to that of the Shabe lect of Yoruba even though the closest Shabe speaking villages of Alafia and Tchaourou are situated more than 270kms south.
