Afudu

Extinct language

Language Information

The Afudu language was natively spoken in Nigeria, specifically in the region southeast of Takum. It is classified within the Niger-Congo language family, specifically under the Southern Bantoid branch (though some historic linguistic ambiguities link the name "Afudu" to a language in the Yukubenic group)
Modern linguists consider Afudu either an extinct or unclassified language variety or a local endonym/exonym for an existing language (such as a dialect of Tangale or a Yukubenic/Jukunoid variety). There are no large contemporary populations or distinct modern territories recognized under the primary label of "Afudu."
