- Source: List of ethnic groups in Nigeria
Nigeria is a very ethnically diverse country with 371 ethnic groups, the largest of which are the Hausa, Yoruba and the Igbo. Nigeria has one official language which is English, as a result of the British colonial rule over the nation. Nevertheless, it is not spoken as a first language in the entire country because other languages have been around for over a thousand years making them the major languages in terms of numbers of native speakers. Nigeria stands out as one of the world's most linguistically diverse nations, with over 500 languages spoken among its 223 millionpeople (2023 estimate), a testament to its rich ethnic heritage. Some of the popular languages spoken in Nigeria are listed as follows: Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Ibibio, Kanuri, Ijaw, Edo, Fulfude, Tiv, and Urhobo to name a few.
