The languages, though very varied, can usually be recognised by the signature nasal-plosive diphthongs, or ''*NC'' as it is often referred to for short. ''*NC''s can be found in almost all Ogbami languages, and the sole exception, the extinct [[Owhenda]] language, used variations of ''*VNC''(vowel-nasal-plosive) and ''*NVC''(nasal-vowel-plosive])
