No doubt, the site is a research resource center, as it provides detailed information on:<br />
1. Codefication of Yoruba language (from Ajami to the Standard Yoruba)<br />
2. Yoruba Grammar- Noun, Verb, Pronoun, Adverb, Adjective, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection.<br />
3. Yoruba Grammatical Tree: Morphology, Phonology/Phonetics, Semantics/Pragmatics and Yoruba Syntax.<br />
4. Yoruba Culture and History<br />
5. Yoruba Numerals etc.</p>
