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.[1]
