Igboid languages constitute a branch of the Volta–Niger language family. It includes Ekpeye and the Igbo languages:EkpeyeIgbo: Igbo proper Ikwerre Ika Izii–Ikwo–Ezza–Mgbo Ogba and Ukwuani-Aboh-Ndoni spoken mainly in southern Nigeria.Williamson and Blench conclude that the Igbo languages (Igboid apart from Ekpeye) form a language cluster and that they are somewhat mutually intelligible. However mutual intelligibility is only marginal even among the Izii–Ikwo–Ezaa–Mgbo languages.
