Abstract: Nigeria has three major languages Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Our research will be based on the English and Igbo language. English language because that is the language from which we will get the terms to be created in the Igbo language. Languages are for communication and to have proper communication in specialized areas, the languages involved need to have appropriate terms and that is why our work is based on creating terms of the human body. The development of formal terminology inAfrica is recent not because there are no terms but because most of the terms are used orally in families. Terminology development started in the 1960s after the independence when some African countries deemed it necessary to have important terms in their different languages. In Nigeria, not much has been done about languages. Efforts are recently being made to develop our languages by creating terms.
