The
Kirya-Konzǝl peoples
mKirya (Fali of Kirya)
and Konzǝl (Fali of Mijilu) are closely
related Central Chadic languages known only from phonetic wordlists in Kraft (1981).
mThey are spoken in some
13 (Kirya) and 15 (Konzǝl) communities
in Mubi and Michika LGAs, Adamawa State,
Nigeria. The villages are accessible from roads north and east of Mubi but are frequently cut off
during the rainy season
mThere might be ca. 5000
Kirya and 8000 Konzǝl though
such numbers are only guesses
