Jalaa language
text:
Jalaa, also known as Cèntûm, Centúúm or Cen Tuum, is an extinct language of northeastern Nigeria, of uncertain origins, apparently a language isolate. The Jalabe speak the Bwilim dialect of the Dikaka language. It is possible that some remembered words have been retained for religious ceremonies, but in 1992 only a few elders remember words that their parents had used, and by 2010 there may not even remain any such rememberers. The Jalabe are said to have come to Loojaa from an area a few miles
