See o le so Yoruba
You say "Do you speak..." in Yoruba language of the Western African origin as "S'ole so ede...".
Oh, dude, to say "I speak Yoruba" in Yoruba, you would say "Mo nso Yoruba." It's like saying "I speak English" but with a bit more spice. So, next time you're showing off your language skills, just drop that line and watch the impressed faces roll in.
"Can you speak slowly?" = "Se ole soro didie?"
The Yoruba people primarily speak the Yoruba language, which is a Niger-Congo language. However, many Yoruba people also speak English, which is a major language in Nigeria where the Yoruba people are predominantly located.
Yoruba is a tribe, but it is also a language. Not all people from the Yoruba tribe speak Yoruba as a language, and not all people that speak Yoruba are from the Yoruba tribe. For example, some from Akwa-ibom, Bendel, Delta, or Rivers tribe speak Yoruba. But most from the Yoruba tribe speak Yoruba, or Pidgin English.
