The Leko-Nimbari languages, also called the Chamba-Mumuye languages, are a subgroup of the old Adamawa languages, provisionally placed within the Savanna languages branch of Niger-Congo, spoken in northern Cameroon and eastern Nigeria. The group divides into the Duru, Leko, Mumuye-Yendang and Nimbari branches; speaker populations range from roughly half a million for Mumuye and over 100,000 for Vere down to about a hundred for Nimbari itself.
