They speak the Ekoi language, the main Ekoid language. Other Ekoid languages are spoken by related groups, including the Etung, some groups in Ikom (such as Ofutop, Akparabong and Nde), some groups in Ogoja (Ishibori and Bansarra), Ufia and Yakö. The Ekoi have lived closely with the nearby Efik, Annang, Ibibio and Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. The Ekoi are best known for their Ekpe headdresses.[2] They traditionally use Nsibidi ideograms, and are the group that originally created them. GeographyThe Ekoi in Nigeria are found in Cross River State. The Ekoid languages are spoken around this area, although English (the national language) is also spoken. OriginThe Ekoi believe that the heirs of the first settlers of their present settlement own the land; while newcomers are not allowed to buy land, they are able to purchase rights of settlement. Ekoi men have traditionally hunted, while women have engaged in agriculture, raising yams, plantains, and corn (maize). Women also fish, and both men and women participate in weaving. Ekoi languageThe Ekoi language is one of the Ekoid languages, a Niger–Congo dialect cluster. {{Commons category|Ekoi}}Notes1. ^1 2 Joshua Project - Ejagham, Ekoi of Cameroon Ethnic People Profile 2. ^{{cite encyclopedia|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/181666/Ekoi |title=Ekoi |accessdate=2009-01-24 |publisher=Britannica Online Encyclopedia}} {{Ethnic groups in Cameroon}}{{Ethnic groups in Nigeria}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ekoi People}} 2 : Ekoi|Ethnic groups in Nigeria |
