Mangas language

Mangas (Mantsi) is an endangered Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Mangas town in Bauchi State, Nigeria.[1] Blench reports in 2019 that it is also called Mantsi, with perhaps about 500-700 speakers in two small villages. According to Blench, the structure of Mantsi differs significantly from the other South Bauchi languages.
