Ziriya Language
Ziriya (Jiriya) and Sheni (Shaini) constitute a Kainji language of Nigeria. They are geographically but perhaps not linguistically distinct. Attestation The earliest reference to the Sheni language is in Temple (1922), who links the Sheni with the Srubu and mentions their presence in Dan Galadima District of the Zaria Emirate. As of 2004, there are six remaining fluent speakers of Sheni and perhaps 10–15 semi-fluent speakers. Sheni informants state that their language is the same as Ziriya. The Ziriya language is first mentioned by Shimizu (1982), who gives a brief wordlist.Shimizu, Kiyoshi 1982: ''Ten more wordlists with analyses from the northern Jos group of Plateau languages'' Afrika und Übersee. The word given by Shimizu's informants differ from one another, perhaps due to faulty recall. Shimizu's informant Sarkin Abubakar Yakubu is probably the remaining speaker of the Ziriya language. He had only spoken it as a child, some sixty years prior. He could recall seve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
