Descrizione: Maaka (also known as Maha, Maka, Maga, Magha) is a West-Chadic language of the Afro-Asiatic phylum, spoken in two main towns, Bara and Gulani in southern Yobe state of Nigeria by ca. 10,000 people (according to Ethnologue 1993), even if the author of a recent book (Suzzi Valli 2014:13) puts the number at approximately 3,000. According to Suzzi Valli “The Maaka language comprises two dialects, located in the two main centers of the Maaka speaking area, Bara and Gulani”. The number of publications on Chadic languages is still not satisfactory at all, considering that for most of these 150 idioms, sufficient documentation is lacking, and publications are sometimes limited to a list of words and some scarce information. For this reason every new publication in this field is very welcomed.
