Bambukic Languages
The Bambukic Trans-Benue or Yungur–Jen languages form a proposed branch of the provisional Savanna languages, a reduced form of the Waja–Jen branch of the old Adamawa languages family (G7, G9, G10). They are spoken in north eastern Nigeria. Their unity is not accepted by Güldemann (2018). Bennett (1983) had also proposed a ''Trans-Benue'' group consisting of the Burak-Jen (i.e., Bikwin-Jen), Yungur (i.e., Bena-Mboi), and Tula- Longuda subgroups. Languages Blench (2006) groups the Yungur (G7), Bikwin–Jen (G9), and Longuda (G10) languages together within part of a larger Gur– Adamawa language continuum. * Bikwin–Jen **Jen: Dza (Jen), Mingang Doso, Tha, Joole **Bikwin: Burak– Loo, Mághdì, Mak, Moo (Gomu) – Leelau (Bikwin) – Kyak (Bambuka) *'' Longuda'' * Yungur (Bəna–Mboi) ** Kaan (Libo) ** Mboi (Gəna, Banga, Handa) **''Yungur–Roba'': Lala-Roba, Voro, Bəna Kleinewillinghöfer (1996) notes the affinities of the Bikwin languages, which wer ...
