Gumna is situated about 10 kilometers to the west of the Tegina-Zungeru road. Around 1963, Basa-Gumna speakers moved to the road and currently live in Yakila town, where only two semi-speakers were found in 1986. They also live two nearby hamlets, both called Basa, which are located west of the road.^[3]
