Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Nigeria
Sha is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Plateau State and Kaduna State, Nigeria.[1] As of 2018, the language is used for face-to-face communication and lacks a standardized written form. It is spoken by approximately 1000 people and is considered sustainable.[2]
The primary area where Sha is spoken is in Sha District, Bokkos LGA, Plateau State. Mundat, a closely related language also belonging to the Chadic A.4 branch, is spoken in Mundat village within the same district.[3]
