All of the Grebo languages commonly go by the term Grebo, though in Ivory Coast Krumen is usual. Grebo country is in the extreme south-west of Liberia on the coast and inland, between the rivers Cavally and Cess.[2] As in other Kru languages, tone is extremely important. For instance, né with a high (or high-mid) tone is the first-person pronoun "I", while nè with a low tone is "you" singular.[3] References1. ^{{e18|gry|Barclayville Grebo}} 2. ^Gordon Innes, A Grebo - English Dictionary, Cambridge University Press, 1967 3. ^Gordon Innes, as above.
