Chamba Daka
Daka (Dakka, Dekka, rarely Deng or Tikk) is one of two languages spoken by the Chamba people in Nigeria, the other being Chamba Leko. Varieties Daka is a dialect cluster. The Chamba dialect is called Chamba Daka (or ''Samba, Tsamba, Tchamba, Sama, Jama Daka''; also Nakanyare) and constitutes 90% of speakers. Chamba Daka is also called ''Sámá Mūm''. Other dialects are ''Dirim'' (Dirin, Dirrim), ''Lamja, Dengsa,'' and ''Tola''. Dirim and Lamja–Dengsa–Tola have separate ISO coding, but ''Ethnologue'' notes that they are 'close to Samba Daka and may be a dialect' or 'may not be sufficiently distinct from Samba Daka to be a separate language', and actually lists Dirim as a dialect under Daka. Blench (2011) lists Dirim as coordinate with other Daka varieties: Nnakenyare, Mapeo, Jangani, Lamja, Dirim, suggesting that if Lamja and Dirim are considered separate languages, as in ''Ethnologue'', then Samba Daka itself needs to be broken up into three additional languages.

Chamba Leko is one of two languages spoken by the Chamba people, the other being Chamba Daka. It is a member of the Leko branch of Savanna languages, and is spoken across the northern Nigerian–Cameroonian border. ''Chamba'' is also spelled 'Samba', ''Leko'' also 'Leeko', 'Lego' or 'Lekon'. The language is also known as ''Suntai''. Dialects Samba, also called Samba Leeko, is highly distinct from ''Chamba Daka'', also called ''Daga Mumi'' ('language of the Daka'), spoken in Nigeria by another subgroup of the ''Chamba'' people. These two languages are respectively classified in groups 2 and 3 of the Adamawa branch by Joseph Greenberg (see Adamawa languages). In Cameroon, the two main groups of dialects are: *Samba languages proper (consisting of the Samba Leeko, Deenu, Bangla, Wangai varieties, as well as Sampara, mainly spoken in Nigeria) located between the Alantika Mountains in one area, and Faro and Mayo-Déo as well (in the south of Béka commune, Bénoué department, N ...
