Definition

  • Ega, also known as Egwa and Diés, is a language of uncertain affiliation within the Niger–Congo language family spoken Ivory Coast. It does not appear to belong to any of the traditional branches of Niger–Congo. Though traditionally assumed to be one of the Kwa languages, Roger Blench now classifies it as a separate branch of the Atlantic–Congo family, though perhaps not far from Kwa and the Volta–Niger languages.
