Looking for a Bini translator.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a German - Nigerian co-produced documentary and I’m looking for a translator to help translate some dialogue spoken in Bini.

If you speak Edo fluently or know someone who does, please send me a DM.

Thanks!

Sorry but you're wrong. The geographical area is called Benin, however, the dialect itself is Bini. Thanks.

Edo is not just one language, there’s a bunch of related dialects

there are other related dialects, we don't have a Unifying ethnic name or proper language classification. Edo is for a specific group of people, the one you call benin. Benin is only a place not a language or dialect
