Learn Yoruba Language

The Yoruba people (Yoruba: Àwọn ọmọ Yorùbá) are an ethnic group of Southwestern and North central Nigeria as well as Southern and Central Benin known as the Yorubaland cultural region of West Africa. The Yoruba constitute over 40 million people in total; the majority of this population is from Nigeria and make up 21% of its population, according to the CIA World Fact book, making them one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa. The majority of the Yoruba speak the Yoruba language. 
The Yoruba Diaspora consists of two main groupings, one of them includes relatively recent migrants, the majority of which moved to the United States and the United Kingdom after major economic changes in the 1970s; the other is a much older population dating back to the Atlantic slave trade. This older community has branches in countries such as Cuba, Saint Lucia, Brazil, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago. The Yoruba people or descendants can be found all over the world especially in the United Kingdom, Canada, and United States of America.
Significant Yoruba communities can be found in South America and Australia.The migration of Yoruba people all over the world has led to a spread of the Yoruba culture across the globe. Yoruba people have historically been spread around the globe by the combined forces of the Atlantic slave trade and voluntary self migration. Their exact population outside Africa is unknown, but researchers have established that most African Americans are of Yoruba descent. The Yoruba left an important presence in Cuba and Brazil, particularly in Havana and Bahia. According to a 19th-century report, "the Yorubas are, still today, the most numerous and influential in the state of Bahia. The most numerous are those from Oyo, capital of the Yoruba kingdom" in Nigeria.
