  1. today Categories (topical): Present, Time Synonyms: Yoruba Varieties and Languages - òníview map (english: today), nɔ́mbɛ́葾Atakpamɛòní葾, nɔ́mbɛ́葾Tchettiòní葾 (Tsɛti, Cɛti), nɔ́mbɛ́葾Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá. It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms (Funṣọ Akere, 1977), especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo, èní (Lagos) Derived forms: lónìí (english: today), lóòní (english: today), àtànámónìí (english: combination of today and yesterday), òde-òní [contemporary, modern] [time], Òní (english: a child who cries non-stop until its naming ceremony)
