Jukun: Donga...
"Jukun tribesmen, numbering about 30,000, live in Benue and
Adamawa provinces of Nigeria.   They speak slightly varying
dialects and are generally known by the name of the area in
which they are found.   (Donga Jukuns live in the Donga area of
eastern Benue Province.)   The Jukun dialects, including Wur-
kum
, are regarded as a linguistically isolated group of related
tongues, although some think they are related to Idoma.   They
are generally placed in the large Benue-Congo linguistic group."
