Chamba Daka
Daka (Dakka, Dekka, rarely Deng or Tikk) is one of two languages spoken by the Chamba people in Nigeria, the other being Chamba Leko. Varieties Daka is a dialect cluster. The Chamba dialect is called Chamba Daka (or ''Samba, Tsamba, Tchamba, Sama, Jama Daka''; also Nakanyare) and constitutes 90% of speakers. Chamba Daka is also called ''Sámá Mūm''. Other dialects are ''Dirim'' (Dirin, Dirrim), ''Lamja, Dengsa,'' and ''Tola''. Dirim and Lamja–Dengsa–Tola have separate ISO coding, but ''Ethnologue'' notes that they are 'close to Samba Daka and may be a dialect' or 'may not be sufficiently distinct from Samba Daka to be a separate language', and actually lists Dirim as a dialect under Daka. Blench (2011) lists Dirim as coordinate with other Daka varieties: Nnakenyare, Mapeo, Jangani, Lamja, Dirim, suggesting that if Lamja and Dirim are considered separate languages, as in ''Ethnologue'', then Samba Daka itself needs to be broken up into three additional languages.
