Grebo is a
Kru language
The Kru languages are spoken by the Kru people from the southeast of Liberia to the west of Ivory Coast.
Classification
According to Güldemann (2018), Kru lacks sufficient lexical resemblances and noun class resemblances to conclude a relati ...
of
Liberia. All of the Grebo languages go by the name Grebo, though in
Ivory Coast ''
Krumen'' is usual. The Grebo people are in the extreme south-west of Liberia on the coast and inland, between the rivers Cavally and Cess.
As in other Kru languages,
tone is extremely important. For instance, with a high (or high-mid) tone is the first-person pronoun "I", while with a low tone is "you" singular.
