The Kainji languages shown within Nigeria


The Kainji languages are a group of sixty or so related languages spoken by about 900,000[year needed] people in Nigeria. They form part of the Central Nigerian (Platoid) branch of Benue–Congo. Four of the largest are Tsuvadi (150,000), Cishingini and Tsishingini (100,000 each)—all from the Kambari branch; and Clela (C'lela, Lela) (100,000), of the Northwest Kainji branch.



Classification


The most divergent of the Kainji languages are Reshe, Laru and Lopa. Subclassification of the other branches is not yet clear. A division between East and West Kainji is no longer maintained.
