The Bete language of Nigeria is a nearly extinct language spoken by a small minority of the 3,000 inhabitants of Bete Town, Takum Local Government Authority, Taraba State; its speakers have mostly shifted to Jukun Takum. It is reported to have been close to Lufu and Bibi. It belongs in the Jukunoid subfamily of Niger-Congo, according to the Vienna Yukuben Project and the Ethnologue (15th ed.), though the latter formerly listed it as unclassified.
