The Isoko and Urhobo languages are essentially dialects of the same language. However, the source dialect is a matter of dispute. Nevertheless, both dialects are derivatives of the Edoid language group. Michael A. Marioghae, working with Peter Ladefoged in 1962, made one of a few audio recordings of sample Isoko words that are made available at the UCLA phonetics archive.[1] PhonologyThe Isoko vowel system is hardly reduced from that reconstructed for proto-Edoid. There are nine vowels in two harmonic sets, {{IPA|/i e a o u/}} and {{IPA|/ɪ ɛ a ɔ ʊ/}}.[2] References1. ^Isoko audio word-list 2. ^Archangeli & Pulleyblank, 1994.
