Fungwa language
Kainji language spoken in Nigeria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fungwa, or Ura (Ula; known as Ɓura-wa in Hausa) is a Kainji language[2] in Pandogari, Niger State, Nigeria. The same word is also used for the people. Roger Blench estimated their numbers at no more than 1,000. Farming is the main occupation of the Fungwa while pottery is also an occupation practised by the women. The Fungwa live in the five villages of Gulbe, Gabi Tukurbe, Urenciki, Renga (Ringa) and Utana along the Pandogari–Allawa road in Rafi, Nigeria.[3]
