Fon is a language spoken primarily in Benin that belongs to a family of related African languages called Gbe. It matters because it represents an important part of West African linguistic and cultural heritage, and studying it helps linguists understand the broader patterns and history of Niger–Congo languages, one of the world's largest language families.
