Jarawan is a group of languages, tentatively classified within the Southern Bantoid branch of Niger-Congo, spoken mostly in Bauchi State, Nigeria, with speakers also scattered across Plateau, Taraba and Adamawa states. Two related languages once spoken in Cameroon are now extinct but are believed, following Thomas' 1925 classification, to have belonged to the same group.
