Pyem (Pyam, Gye; Hausa: Fyam, Fyem) is a Plateau languageofNigeria. It is spoken by the people of Pyem Chiefdom with headquarters in Gindiri.[2] Pyem is one of the indigenous languages spoken in Mangu LGA, Plateau State, Nigeria.[3]

Revival efforts

Most Pyem youths no longer speak the language.[4]

In 2018, the Ba-Pyam Azonci Association with support from some U.S. partners, commissioned the publication of books in Pyem to save it from going extinct. Examples of such books are Shalai na Waari na DePyam, "Reading and Writing in Pyem"; Beer, Kwor, Na Cikam Arye, "Relationship, Counting, Proverbs, Names, and Directions"; etc.[5]
