Unclassified Adamawa languages

Unclassified Adamawa languages

The Oblo language of Cameroon is agreed to belong to the Adamawa group, but its position within Adamawa is as yet unclear. It has been speculated that the unclassified Laal language of Chad may be Adamawa; the Jalaa language of Nigeria is probably not Adamawa, but shows heavy Adamawa influence.
