Bokyi language
Provisional — awaiting verification
From Wikipedia
Bokyi (Boki, Nfua, Nki, Okii, Osikom, Osukam, Uki, Vaaneroki) is a regionally important Bendi language spoken by the Bokyi people of northern Cross River State, Nigeria. It is ranked amongst the first fifteen languages of the about 520 living languages in Nigeria, with a few thousand speakers in Cameroon.
Major dialects include Abu (Abo, Baswo), Irruan, Osokom (Okundi) and Wula. In 2026, Roger Blench determined Abu to be a separate Bendi language that is not particularly closely related to Bokyi.
This record is provisional: it was compiled from the cited sources but has not yet been checked by an InsideKamer editor.
