Koro Wachi language

Koro Wachi, natively Tinɔr and Myamya, is a dialect cluster of Plateau languages spoken to the north of Keffi in Nasarawa State Kagarko Local Government Area and Jema'a Local Government of southern Kaduna State in central Nigeria. Koro Wachi forms part of a larger cultural grouping with the Ashe.

Varieties

The Ashe share a common ethnonym with the Tinɔr-Myamya which is Uzar for 'person'. This name is the origin of the term Ejar.
Tinɔr and Myamya constitute a language pair in the cluster. The Tinɔr-Myamya peoples actually have no common name for themselves, but refer to individual villages when speaking, and apply noun-class prefixes to the stem.

Distribution

Tinor is spoken in seven villages south and west of Kubacha: Uca, Unɛr, Ùsám, Marke, Pànkòrè, Ùtúr, and Gɛshɛberẽ.
Myamya is spoken in three villages north and west of Kubacha. Ùshɛ̀, Bàgàr, and Bàgbwee.
