Zora (Izora), or Cokoba (Cokobanci) in Hausa, is a Kainji language of Nigeria.

Demographics

According to Blench (2016), Zora (also called Chokobo) is spoken by 19 speakers, in some two hours drive from Jos. The speakers are all over 60 years and rarely talk to one another, since they are spread across 10 settlements. The morphology and phonology have been highly eroded as well.
