The Nigerian Languages Project (NLP) is a project of the Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, University of Uyo. It provides a database of the languages of Nigeria following the six geopolitical zones the South South, South East, South West, North East, North Central and North West. The Project surveys the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs), and presents the languages and their varieties, as well as estimates of the speakers. It also provides political maps, as a guide, which are converted to linguistic maps of the zones in the Nigerian Languages Series. The Languages of Southern Nigeria: A Geopolitical Profile is the 5th edition in the series and it covers the seventeen States in the three southern geopolitical zones. It is the first volume that has a preliminary linguistic map.
