Burak language

Burak (Ɓúúrák) is an Adamawa language spoken by the Burak people in Nigeria. The main settlement of the Burak, in the northern foothills of the Chonge-Mona Range, is called "Burak" by others but "Tiire" by its inhabitants. Estimates based on the census of 1991 give about 4,634 people living in the Burak Village Area. Other settlements where significant numbers of Burak people live include Looyii, Layara, Daajelum, Taljwi, Pirim, Nyuaabwetek, Nyuaafiikum, and Dikadit. The last of these was once the main settlement of the Burak.
