Jukun Takum language

Jukunoid language of Cameroon and Nigeria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jukun (Njikun) or more precisely Jukun Takum, is a Jukunoid language[2] of Cameroon used as a trade language in Nigeria. Though there are only a few thousand native speakers and only a dozen in Nigeria (as of 2000), it is spoken as a second language in Nigeria by tens of thousands (40,000 reported in 1979).

The name Jukun is a cover term for several related Jukunoid languages such as the much more numerous Jukun Wapan.

Wase Tofa is listed by Blench (2019) as a dialect.[3]
