Jibyal (also known as Ankwey, a former name for the Goemai people) is a West Chadic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria.
[1] Jibyal most likely belongs to the Pan cluster of languages, which includes Kofyar.
Children still speak the language, but it is still threatened by Hausa.
It is spoken in Mangu LGA, situated to the west of the Panyam-Shendam road, to the south of Mushere.
Jibyal is situated to the north of Nteng, and to the west of Jipal (a distinctive language from Jibyal, despite the similar-sounding name).
