Duru languages

The Duru languages are a group of Savanna languages spoken in northern Cameroon and eastern Nigeria. They were labeled "G4" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal.

Kleinewillinghöfer (2012) also observes many morphological similarities between the Samba-Duru and Central Gur languages.

Languages

 * Duli (extinct)
 * Dii: Duupa, Dugun (Panõ), Dii (Mambe’, Mamna’a, Goom, Boow, Ngbang, Sagzee, Vaazin, Home, Nyok)
 * Peere (Kutin)
 * Longto (Voko)
 * Vere–Dowayo
 * Dowayo
 * Sewe

However, Guldemann (2018) casts doubt on the coherence of Samba–Duru as a unified group.
