Duru languages

1

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.

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