The Middle Belt (also spelt Middle-Belt or Central Nigeria) is a term used in human geography to designate a belt region stretching across central Nigeria longitudinally and forming a transition zone between Northern and Southern Nigeria. It is composed of the southern half of the defunct Northern Region of Nigeria, now comprising mostly the North Central geopolitical zone, and is characterised by its lack of a clear majority ethnic group. It is also the location of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory.

  • الحزام الأوسط هو مصطلح يستخدم في الجغرافيا البشرية لتمييز منطقة حزام تمتد عبر وسط نيجيريا طولياً وتشكل منطقة انتقالية بين شمال وجنوب نيجيريا. تتميز المنطقة بعدم وجود مجموعة عرقية أغلبية واضحة، وهي موقع منطقة العاصمة الإتحادية لنيجيريا. وتشكل سيادة لمجموعات الأقليات المتنوعة، وإلى حد ما، حاجزًا لغويًا عرقيًا في البلاد وتؤدي إلى الفصل بين الشمال المُسلم بشكل أساسي والجنوب ذي الأغلبية المسيحية. حيث تنقسم البلاد بين شمال فقير يسكنه غالبية مسلمة وجنوب غني أغلبيته من المسيحيين. المنطقة هي تقارب لهذه المجالات الثقافية وتحافظ على درجة هائلة من التنوع العرقي اللغوي. اللغات الأفرو آسيوية والنيلية الصحراوية والنيجرية الكنغوية جميعها لغات منطوقة، وهي ثلاث من الأسر اللغوية الأفريقية الأساسية.

  • The Middle Belt (also spelt Middle-Belt or Central Nigeria) is a term used in human geography to designate a belt region stretching across central Nigeria longitudinally and forming a transition zone between Northern and Southern Nigeria. It is composed of the southern half of the defunct Northern Region of Nigeria, now comprising mostly the North Central geopolitical zone, and is characterised by its lack of a clear majority ethnic group. It is also the location of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory. The eminence of manifold minority groups, to some degree, constitutes an ethno-linguistic barrier in the country and draws a separation between the principally Muslim North and the mainly Christian south. The region is a convergence of these cultural domains and maintains a tremendous degree of ethno-linguistic diversity. Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, and Niger–Congo languages are all spoken, which are three of the primary African language families. In the 1920s, it was described by Melzian (1928:496) as the "Middle Zone". (en)
  • O Cinturão Médio (Middle Belt) é um termo geográfico humano que designa a região do centro da Nigéria povoada em grande parte por grupos étnicos minoritários e alongam-se para todo o país longitudinalmente. O Cinturão Médio é indeterminado, que carece designar "fronteiras" e é caracterizado por uma heterogeneidade e diversidade de povos e culturas. A eminência de grupos minoritários múltiplos em algum grau constitui uma barreira etno-linguística no país, desenhando uma separação entre o Norte islâmico e o Sul cristão. A região é uma convergência desses domínios culturais e mantém um enorme grau de diversidade etno-linguístico, com línguas das famílias afro-asiática, nilo-saariana, e níger-congo, três dos principais grupos de línguas africanas, todas as que estão sendo faladas.
