Chakato (Jakato [ʒàkàtɔ̀] or Jakattoe[2]) is a West Chadic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria.
[1] It is spoken by about 500 people in one village, Dokan Tofa, which is located on the Jos-Shendam road in Plateau State.
Blench (2017) suggests that Chakato may be related to spurious records of the Jorto language.
[1] Jakato is spoken in Dokan Tofa town and nearby villages in southern Plateau State.
[3] Jorto is a putative Afro-Asiatic language claimed to be spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria, and is currently listed in Ethnologue.
