Kwah language
Kwah, also known as Baa, is a Niger–Congo language of uncertain affiliation; the more it has been studied, the more divergent it appears. Joseph Greenberg counted it as one of the Waja–Jen languages of the Adamawa family. Boyd assigned it its own branch within Waja–Jen. Kleinewillinghöfer removed it from Waja–Jen as an independent branch of Adamawa. When Blench broke up Adamawa, Kwah became a provisional independent branch of his larger Savannas family.
Blench lists the locations of Baa as Gyakan and Kwa towns in Numan LGA, Adamawa State, Nigeria. One Baa-speaking person is raBáà, and more than one would be Báà ; the language is referred to by speakers as nyaa Báà. The Baa varieties in each of the two towns differ primarily in phonology.
Baa traditional religion has two main deities, Gbandima and Kassimin.
