Yoruba is on of the three most important languages in federal republic of Nigeria. Yoruba is the dominant language in the south western region of Nigeria down to the republic of Benin. Even though the Islamic mission reached the Yoruba land relatively late, the population of adherents to Islam ranges between 65% and 70%. Like other Muslim languages, Yoruba language soon after borrowed tones of Arabic words after which the Arabic script was adopted. Until the arrival of the British colonization, Yoruba people didn’t use any other script apart from Arabic. However the colonial master introduced the Latin script, religious materials are still written in Arabic script.
