Afro-Asiatic Chadic Masa North? Zumaya

Zumaya is an extinct Chadic language once spoken in Cameroon. It is known only from a few words recorded from the last speaker. It may have been divergent within the Masa branch of Chadic.

There are no known speakers; it is though that the language use has shifted to Fulfulde.
