	Jukunoid Languages The Jukunoid languages are a branch of the Benue-Congo languages spoken by the Jukun and related peoples of Nigeria and Cameroon. They are distributed mostly throughout Taraba State, Nigeria and surrounding regions. Their asymmetrical nasal consonants are atypical for West Africa, as can be seen in Wapan.
