Grebo is dialect cluster of the Kru languages, spoken by the Grebo people of Liberia and the Krumen of Ivory Coast. ==Definition== Since the first group contacted by European explorers and Americo-Liberian colonists reaching the area of Cape Palmas were the Seaside Grebo, or Glebo,〔Classified as a dialect of Southern Grebo by ISO 639-3.〕 their speech came to be known simply as '' Grebo''. In the absence of other qualification, the term ''Grebo language'' will refer simply to the ''Glebo'' speech variety. However, as will be seen from the discussion below, considerable ambiguity and imprecision continue to exist with respect to the use of the term Grebo; it is not always clear precisely which variety it is intended to denote, or, if it is being used as a group term, what is to be included in the group. The root of this imprecision grows from several factors: *The incompleteness of the data; and *Lack of rigor in the classification methodology; and *The fact that the speech area involved is a language continuum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grebo languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
