Izi language
Izi (Izii, Izzi) is an Igbo language spoken in Ebonyi state in Nigeria.〔Paul Meier, Inge Meier & John Bendor-Samuel, ''A Grammar of Izi: An Igbo Language'', Summer Institute of Linguistics (1975)〕 It forms a dialect cluster with closely related Ikwo, Ezza, and Mgbo.
== Demographics ==
Speakers of the Izi language are spread over a large area. Belonging to a larger group of people called the Igbo, the Izi distinguish themselves from their neighbors and have divided themselves into many clans. Izi speakers are found East of Abakaliki, the capital of the Ebonyi State and extend as far as the Anambra and Imo State boundaries.〔 Longitudinally, Izi speakers extend from the Plateau State to approximately 12 miles north of the Cross River which runs through the appropriately named Cross River State.〔 The maps on this page highlight the area where Izi speakers live, showing both the country of Nigeria within the African Continent and the divisions within Nigeria. Izi’s parent group, the Igbo, reside in Southeast Nigeria. The area where the Igbo live has been termed “Igboland.” Though this area is divided by the Niger River, cultural unity is maintained by the Igbo people as the River provides a convenient means of communication.
