The Lower Cross River languages form a branch of the Cross River languages of Rivers State, Nigeria. They consist of the divergent Obolo language (or Andoni, 200,000 speakers), and the core of the branch, which includes the 4 million speakers of the Efik-Ibibio cluster.
- Obolo
- Lower Cross proper : Efik-Ibibio, Ibino (Ibeno), Oro (Oron), Okobo, Iko, Ebughu, Ilue, Enwang-Uda, Usaghade
Forde and Jones (1950) considered Ibino and Oro to be Efik-Ibibio.
