However, Yoruba is spoken in several countries in West Africa, including:
* Nigeria: The majority of Yoruba speakers live in Nigeria, where it's one of the three major languages.
* Benin: A significant population of Yoruba speakers resides in Benin, bordering Nigeria.
* Togo: A smaller number of Yoruba speakers live in Togo, bordering Benin.
It's important to note:
* Yoruba is not a single language but a family of dialects. While speakers of different dialects can generally understand each other, there are variations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.
* Yoruba speakers also reside in other countries outside of West Africa due to migration.
Instead of "countries speaking Yoruba dialects," it's more accurate to say that Yoruba is spoken in several countries in West Africa, with the largest number of speakers residing in Nigeria.
