Anaang
Anaang is traditionally an oral language, thriving through storytelling, proverbs, and everyday conversation. It belongs to the Lower-Cross branch of the Niger-Congo language family and is closely related to Ibibio and Efik. While there are slight dialect differences across regions such as Ikot Ekpene, Obot Akara, and Ukanafun, speakers generally understand one another. The language reflects the culture and social life of the Annang communities and continues to play a vital role in preserving their heritage.
