Yoruba, like Edo/Bini, Fula, Hausa and Igbo, belongs to the Niger-Congo languages and is spoken by more than 30 million people of the Yoruba ethnic group of the same name, mainly in southwestern Nigeria (Yorubaland) as well as in Benin and Togo. Nevertheless, the official languages of these countries are English and French, respectively, and so-called pidgin languages have developed here.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, millions of people were trafficked from this region, then called the “Slave Coast,” primarily to Brazil and Cuba. With them, their languages, cultures and religions also arrived in the New World. For example, religions such as Candomblé in Brazil and Santería in Cuba can be traced back to Yoruba customs. For this reason, it is not uncommon to hear Yoruba in these countries, even though the dialects there are clearly more influenced by Portuguese or Spanish than the Yoruba of West Africa, which is more influenced by French, English and Arabic.
Yoruba has over 15 dialects, which are divided into three major dialect groups: Northwest, Central, and Southeast Yoruba. Yet all these dialects, like Chinese or Serbo-Croatian, are tonal languages. This means that a change in pitch can change the meaning of a word. Unlike German, Yoruba is an isolating language. This means that words are not inflected in order to obtain a grammatical function. Instead, this is determined by their position within a sentence.
We offer the following services for Yoruba:

A Statement of Comparability is an official document issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen – ZAB). It assesses international higher education qualifications and ascertains the professional and academic legitimacy of candidates. This is intended to facilitate access to the German labor market and enable students to continue their studies in Germany. It is a comparative classification, but not a recognition.
For further details on the process of recognizing equivalency and the evaluation of your diplomas, please visit the official website of the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen) of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (Kultusministerkonferenz – KMK).
You can check the evaluation of your certificates and degrees in advance in the Anabin database.
You can also check the value of your foreign university qualification and research further information.
Information about degrees with university admission can also be found at Anabin. You can check under which conditions you can take up an undergraduate course of study in Germany with a foreign secondary qualification.
Depending on the federal state, other recognition and advisory offices are responsible for recognizing the equivalence of your degrees, certificates or diplomas from Nigeria, Togo or Benin. On Anabin you can find information not only about relevant authorities, but also about advisory bodies without direct recognition competence. They can provide you with information on numerous issues relating to recognition in Germany.
Nigeria, Togo and Benin are not part of the Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille Convention). Also, documents from these countries are not legalized. Instead, there are document checks that are carried out via the respective German embassies or Consulate Generals.
For certificates from Nigeria, contact the German Consulate General in Lagos. You can also find more information on the embassy’s fact sheet.
For documents from Togo, contact the German Embassy in Lomé. You can also find more information on the embassy’s fact sheet.
For documents from Benin, contact the German Embassy in Cotonou. You can also find more information on the embassy’s fact sheet.
By default, the certification is carried out by a translator who is sworn in by a court in Germany. Please note that we offer certified translations only from German or into German.
