Miship, or Chip, is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria.
[2] The Chip people are found in Pankshin LGA.
[citation needed] Oral tradition states that they migrated from Kanem-Bornu to their present homeland with other tribes, Ngas, Mupun, and Mwaghavul.
[4] Most Miship names are unisex, so in order to differentiate a man from a woman, the contracted form is used i.e. the prefix Na is added to the root word of the woman's name and Da is added to the root word of the man's.
For example, for a man and a woman both sharing: Lu can be used to refer to meat from animals.
