Wutana language

Encyclopedia : W : WU : WUT : Wutana language

The hypothetical Wutana language was mentioned in early editions of the Ethnologue, but has now been removed. The inclusion of Watuna in the Ethnologue is based on two sentences in Temple (1922):

There are 1,075 Wutana in Bauchi Emirate. (p. 367)

and

105. Wutana, population 1,075 in Bauchi Emirate. (p. 431).

However, it is also alluded to in Roger Blench's [draft list] of Chadic languages, and in Jouni Maho's [list] of unclassified African languages.
