Jarawan is a group of languages spoken mostly in Bauchi State, Nigeria, with some also scattered in Plateau State, Taraba State, and Adamawa State in the same country. Two related languages formerly spoken in Cameroon are now extinct but are believed to have belonged to the group. This connection between Nigerian and Cameroonian Jarawan is attributed to Thomas (1925). Whether Jarawan languages are best classified alongside other Bantu languages or among non-Bantu Bantoid languages is a matter of ongoing debate. A number of descriptions and classifications in the early 20th century suggest that they be may historically related to Bantu languages but not necessarily Bantu themselves. Other perspectives based on lexicostatistic modeling and other phylogenetic techniques for language compariso

  • Die jarawoiden Sprachen (kurz Jarawoid) bilden eine Untereinheit der südlichen bantoiden Sprachen, eines Zweiges der Benue-Kongo-Sprachen, die ihrerseits zum Niger-Kongo gehören. Die 15 jarawoiden Sprachen werden von etwa 300.000 Menschen in vor allem Ost-Nigeria und noch vereinzelt Nord-Kamerun gesprochen. Die bedeutendste Sprache ist das Jarawa mit 150.000 Sprechern.

  • Jarawan is a group of languages spoken mostly in Bauchi State, Nigeria, with some also scattered in Plateau State, Taraba State, and Adamawa State in the same country. Two related languages formerly spoken in Cameroon are now extinct but are believed to have belonged to the group. This connection between Nigerian and Cameroonian Jarawan is attributed to Thomas (1925). Whether Jarawan languages are best classified alongside other Bantu languages or among non-Bantu Bantoid languages is a matter of ongoing debate. A number of descriptions and classifications in the early 20th century suggest that they be may historically related to Bantu languages but not necessarily Bantu themselves. Other perspectives based on lexicostatistic modeling and other phylogenetic techniques for language comparison argue instead that Jarawan languages are properly classified alongside Zone A Bantu languages (A31-A40-A60). For classifications based on these more recent studies, see for example Blench (2006), Piron (1997), and Grollemund (2012). (en)
  • Las lenguas jarawanas son un continuo geolectal de variedades bantoides meridiales estrechamente emparentadas, cuya clasificación es dudosa, de acuerdo a algunos autores forman un grupo bantú divergente para otros es una rama del bantoide meridional. Blench (2011) considera que con total seguridad, el grupo puede incluirse entre las lenguas bantúes de la zona A.60 (en la clasificación de Guthrie), que forman parte de las lenguas mbam. (es)
