Dakoid languages

The Dakoid languages are a branch of the Northern Bantoid languages spoken in Taraba and Adamawa states of eastern Nigeria.

Greenberg placed Samba Daka (Daka) within his Adamawa proposal, as group G3, but Bennett (1983) demonstrated to general satisfaction that it is a Benue–Congo language, though its placement within Benue–Congo is disputed.

Boyd (ms), however, considers Daka an isolate branch within Niger–Congo (Blench 2008).

Below is a list of language names, populations, and locations from Blench (2019).
