Edo/ˈɛdoʊ/[2] (with diacritics, Ẹ̀dó), colloquially and often incorrectly referred to as Bini (Benin), is the language spoken by the Edo ethnic group in Edo State, Nigeria. Benin or Bini is not a language but, rather, the name of the capital city, and the name of the Kingdom. Edo language is the native tongue of the Edo people and was the primary language of the Benin Empire and its predecessor, Igodomigodo for thousands of years. Edo language is the majority language spoken in Edo State, particularly in Benin City, and the surrounding local governments and senatorial districts in the Southern parts of the State. While everyone from the state are referred to as Edolites, but the Edo speaking people are known as the Edos.
