Jaba Language
Hyam is a regionally important linguistic cluster of Plateau languages in Nigeria. ''Hyam of Nok'' is the prestige dialect (Blench 2008). Writing the sociolinguistics of Hyam, Blench treats ''Sait,'' and ''Dzar'' as distinct varieties, and notes that ''Yat'' and ''Ankung'' may be viewed as separate languages, however, Hayab (2016) presents a differing opinion arguing that it is Ankung, a language called Iduya, that is not mutually intelligible to Hyam. Meanwhile, Hyam, which is spoken by the Ham people of Nigeria, popularly known as 'Jaba' in a recent study by Philip Hayab, a native of the area and a linguist who carried out in-depth research into the language, reveals that 'Jaba' has a Hausa etymology and is derogatory and should be discarded (John 2017). Distribution Native Hyam speakers are found mainly in Jaba, Kachia and Kagarko. They are also found in Jema'a Local Government Areas of southern Kaduna State and in Keffi Local Government Area of Nasarawa State of Nigeria. Dia ...
