The Awori is a subgroup of the Yoruba people, speaking a dialect of the Yoruba language.
Geography
The traditional homeland of the Awori people is situated close to the southwestern corner of Yorubaland, in the modern day political subdivisions of Lagos and Ogun states of Nigeria.[1][2]
History
In a 1935 Intelligence Report on the Badagry district anthropologist W.G. Wormalin said the Awori spoke a "slurred dialect" of Yoruba and mostly farmed and fished.[3]
