Tso language

Tso is one of the Savanna languages of eastern Nigeria.

Dialects

The language is known as nyi tsó, while the people are known as Tsobo . The ethnic subgroups are,

Bərbou
Swaabou
Gusobu

A subsection of the Gusobu may also live in Luzoo settlement.
Each ethnic subgroup speaks a different Tso dialect. The Swaabou and Gusobu reportedly have trouble understanding each other. Tso lexical diversity is partly due to the tradition of word tabooing.
