Jalaa language

Extinct language of northeastern Nigeria

Jalaa, also known as Cèntûm, Centúúm or Cen Tuum, is an extinct language of northeastern Nigeria, of uncertain origins, apparently a language isolate. The Jalabe speak the Bwilim dialect of the Dikaka language. It is possible that some remembered words have been retained for religious ceremonies, but in 1992 only a few elders remember words that their parents had used, and by 2010 there may not even remain any such rememberers.
