The Aizi (Aïzi, Ahizi, Ezibo) speak three languages around
Ébrié Lagoon in Ivory Coast.
Two of the languages are
Kru. They are divergent enough for intelligibility to be difficult:
*
Lélé ''(Lélémrin),'' also known as Tiagba ''(Tiagbamrin)'' after its principal town
*
Mobu ''(Mobumrin)''
It was long assumed that the third ethnically Aizi language,
Apro ("Aproumu"), was Kru as well. However, now that it has been documented, Apro is classified as a
Kwa language.
