Kamwe language
Kamwe is a Chadic language spoken in Adamawa State, Borno State in Nigeria and North Western Cameroon.
The Kamwe people and language are sometimes called Higi (Higgi). Kamwe elders say this is a derogatory name, given to the Kamwe by their relatives the Margi, that literally means "grasshopper". The Margi first called the Kamwe people "Higi" in 1924.〔Tribal Studies in Northern Nigeria. C.K Meek 1931〕
In Nigeria about 80 percent of Kamwe are found in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State Nigeria, a substantial number of them are also found in the local government areas of Mubi North, Hong, Gombi, Song and Madagali in Adamawa State. The Kamwe people are also found in Borno State, especially in Askira/Uba and Gwoza local government areas.
==Dialects==
Kamwe dialects include Nkafa, Dakwa, Krghea (sometimes called Higgi Fali), Fwea, Humsi, Modi, Sina, and Tilyi; Blench (2006) considers Psikye to be another.〔Blench, 2006. (The Afro-Asiatic Languages: Classification and Reference List ) (ms)〕 Nkafa is well understood by all and is widely spoken, being the main language of administration and commerce, and having a literary tradition. It is natively spoken by the clans of Kwache, Kwaga, Kwabe, Kwaya and Kwaghe. The other Nkafa clans are Kwaha and Kwabuggi. (The Nkafa clans are said to descend from brothers (the same mother ) who migrated to Nkafamiya together from Ghye. Other dialects of Kamwe are also divided into clans. For example, Tlowou is spoken by the clans Mbammi, Nyahuo, Nka, Zharawa, Towoo, Ngulvi and Mihalyi.
