Kakanda (also known as Akanda or Hyabe[2]) is a Nupoid language of Nigeria.
Kakanda is spoken in and around Kupa and Eggan (near the Niger-Benue confluence).
There are scattered villages stretching from the Niger-Benue confluence to as far as Muregi.
It is most closely related to Gupa and Kupa, although there are also some similarities with Ebira.
[2] Baka is a Kakanda-speaking town.
