The Languages of Southern Nigeria: A Geopolitical Profile is the 5th edition in the series produced by the Nigerian Languages Project (NLP). It covers the seventeen States in the three southern geopolitical zones in Nigeria. It is the first volume that has a preliminary linguistic map.
The
Nigerian Languages Project (NLP) is a project of the Department of
Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, University of Uyo. It provides a database
of the languages of Nigeria following the six geopolitical zones – the South South, South East, South West, North East, North
Central and North West. The Project surveys the 774 Local Government Areas
(LGAs), and presents the languages and their varieties, as well as estimates of
the speakers. It also provides political maps, as a guide, which are converted to linguistic maps of the zones
in the Nigerian Languages Series.
