The Lokaa Language: A Voice of the Yakurr People

Lokaa is a Niger-Congo language spoken predominantly by the Yakurr people of Cross River State, Nigeria. Also referred to as Loke, Loka, or Ugep language, Lokaa is rich in oral tradition and plays a central role in the cultural identity of the Yakurr communities such as Ugep, Mkpani, Idomi, Nko, and Ekori.

With unique tonal patterns and deeply expressive vocabulary, Lokaa is used in everyday communication, traditional ceremonies, folktales, songs, and rituals. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote the language through documentation, teaching in schools, and digital platforms.

Preserving Lokaa is not just about language—it’s about safeguarding the cultural heritage, history, and identity of the Yakurr nation.
