OR:

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.Douglas Boone, Silué Lamine, MaryAnne Augustin.
