Alada language

Alada (Arba) is a Gbe language of Nigeria and Benin that has proven difficult to classify. Ethnologue counts Alada and Tɔli as dialects of Gun, but Capo (1988) considers it one of the Phla–Pherá languages. Kluge (2000) found elements of both Fon–Gun and Phla–Pherá. It is considered to be a dialect of Wudu by Glottolog.
