Chadic language cluster spoken in Nigeria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ron (Run; also known as Challa, Chala) is an Afro-Asiatic language cluster spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria. Dialects include Bokkos, Daffo-Mbar-Butura (incl. Mangar), Monguna/Manguna (Shagau), (20,000 speakers).[1] Blench (2006) considers these to be separate languages.[2]
Blench (2019) lists these language varieties in the Ron (Run) cluster:[3]
Daffo-Mbar-Butura is spoken in Hottom, Maiduna, Hurum, Fanga, Kandik, Faram, Mandung, Mayi, and Josho villages.[4]
Manguna (Shagau) is spoken in Manguna, Mahurum, Hurti, Gwande, Dambwash and Karfa
Although modern Ron uses a decimal system, it is well attested that in the past a duodecimal counting system was used.[5]
