The Ibibio language is likely to be among the mother tongue of the ancient proto-Bantu nation. They belong to Annang, Eket, Oron, Igbo, Efik and a conglomeration of some prominent ethnic groups.
The Ibibio Union also foresees the unification of one nation during the colonial era in Nigeria, hence the demand of the British to be recognised as a sovereign nation (Noah, 1988).
The Ibibio do share personal names, culture, cuisine, and traditions with the Annang, Efik, Eket, Oron and Ibeno, and many others and they speak similar (dialects) languages that are more or less mutually comprehensible.
Ibibio refers to an ethnic and a linguistic name. The Ibibio people all talk and communicate using Ibibio. The diversity in dialect of the different Ibibio groups is mostly due to the territorial seclusion experienced over an extended length of time.
