Igbo is a language spoken in Nigeria by about 18 million speakers (source: Ethnologue (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=IGR)). The language was used by John Goldsmith as an example to justify going away from the classical linear model of phonology as laid out in The sound pattern of English.
