Digital Yoruba
The Innovative Yoruba Orthography
What is Digital Yoruba?
Digital Yoruba is an Alternative Orthography for Yoruba Language or simply, a new, innovative way to write Yoruba.
It is based on alphabetic separation of similar words rather than accents. It is much easier to write and learn since every word is written differently in a scientific, logical order.
Digital Yoruba repackages, rebrands and beautifies Yoruba Language to make it very reader friendly, endearing and attractive to our new generation, and to those in the Diaspora..
