Ẹdo language is the mother tongue of most of the children in Ẹdo South Senatorial district of Ẹdo State. It is also the first language of the immediate linguistic environment of the Ẹdo child. By induction therefore, Ẹdo, though a minority language, is the main indigenous language of the immediate multi-lingual Ẹdo society. Though the language is not used as a medium of instruction at the pre- primary and primary school levels (like in the western and northern parts of Nigeria) in the state, it is taught as a subject to the pupils.
