The Lufu language of Nigeria is a nearly extinct language still spoken by some elders among the 2,000-3,000 Lufu in Takum Local Government Authority, Taraba State; its speakers have mostly shifted to Jukun. It is reported to have been close to Bete and Bibi. According to the Vienna Yukuben Project, it and Bete probably belong together in the Southern Jukunoid subfamily of Niger-Congo; the Ethnologue lists it as unclassified.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=1209914 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
