This study delves into the morphological structure of Àyèré, a less-documented language spoken by a minority group in Nigeria. The research aims to fill a significant gap in the linguistic literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of the morphological features of Àyèré, particularly in terms of its morpheme structures, criteria for wordhood in the dialect, Tonal change (pitch alteration) and word formation processes. The study adopts a structuralist approach, utilizing both fieldwork data and existing secondary sources to elucidate the morphological characteristics of the dialect. Key findings highlight the unique aspects of Àyèré morphology, such as its affixation processes, the role of tonal variations in morpheme differentiation, and the influence of neighboring languages on its morphological system. This research contributes to the broader understanding of Niger-Congo languages and offers valuable insights for future studies on the documentation and preservation of endangered languages in Nigeria.
