Ukaan (also Ikan, Anyaran, Auga, or Kakumo) is an undocumented and sparsely described Niger-Congo language or dialect cluster of uncertain affiliation. Roger Blench suspects, based on wordlists, that it may be closest to the (East) Benue-Congo languages (or, equivalently, the most divergent of the Benue-Congo languages). The name Anyaran is from the town of Anyaran, where it is spoken.
