Ijaw languages
The Ijaw 〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student's Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 languages, also spelled ''Ịjọ'',〔generally pronounced in English〕 are the languages spoken by the Ijaw people in southern Nigeria. They form a divergent branch of the Niger–Congo family (perhaps along with Defaka in a group called Ijoid), and are noted for their subject–object–verb basic word order, which is otherwise an unusual feature in Niger–Congo, shared only by such distant potential branches as Mande and Dogon. Like Mande and Dogon, Ijoid lacks even traces of the noun class system considered characteristic of Niger–Congo, and so may have split early from that family.
Berbice Creole Dutch, a creole spoken in Guyana, has a lexicon based partly on an Ịjọ language, perhaps the ancestor of Kalabari (Kouwenberg 1994).
==Usage and teaching==
In June 2013, the ''Izon Fie'' instructional book and audio CDs were launched at a ceremony attended by officials of the Government of Bayelsa State. The Niger Delta University is working to expand the range of books available in the Ijaw language. Translations of poetry and the ''Call of the River Nun'' by Gabriel Okara are underway.
