Buru language (Nigeria)
Buru is a Southern Bantoid language of uncertain classification spoken in a single village in Nigeria. It is spoken in Sardauna LGA, Taraba State, in a village near Batu.
The only data on Buru is a wordlist collected by Robert Koops in the 1970s. The only published discussion of the classification of Buru is Piron, which treats it as Tivoid, although apart from sharing some lexical items with Northwest Tivoid probably due to proximity, there is little evidence to classify it. It is treated as an isolate within Bantoid by Blench.
