Miyobe or Soruba is an unclassified Niger-Congo language of Benin and Togo.
Güldemann (2018) notes that Miyobe cannot be securely classified within Gur, and leaves it out as unclassified within Niger-Congo. Unlike the Gur languages, which are SVO, Miyobe has SOV word order like the Senufo, Mande, and Dogon languages. [3]
Geographic distribution
In Togo, Miyobe is spoken in the Solla area of Binah Prefecture.
In Benin, Miyobe is spoken in Atacora Department ( Boukoumbé and Kouandé communes) and Donga Department ( Copargo commune). Villages are Anandana, Kuhobè, Sétrah, Kantchoko (Kapatcharè), Tchomitchomi, Koubéné-Béné, Koutchamang, and Moupémou villages. [4]
