The following classification is taken from Blench (2008). The languages are not closely related are morphologically quite diverse due to different contact situations; given the poor state of their description, their relationship is provisional.
Ethnologue scatters these languages throughout Plateau: Hasha and Sambe with Eggon (Southern branch), and Alumu–Tesu and Toro as two independent branches.
