Kutin is a member of the Duru branch of Savanna languages. Most Nigerian speakers moved to Cameroon when the Gashaka-Gumti National Park was established.

Dialects

[edit]

The dialects of Paara (Kutin) are as follows.[2]

Paara (Páárá) is spoken in the northwestern part of Tignère commune (Faro and Deo departments, Adamaoua Region), between the aforementioned town and the Nigerian border by about 15,000 speakers.[2]

Paara Muura, by far the most important variety, is the most northerly dialect (Mayo Baléo commune, Faro and Deo departments, Adamaoua Region), along with Gadjiwan and Aimé, northwest of Tignère.[2]

Zongbi is spoken southeast of Tignère near Djombi, Ngaoundéré commune, Vina department, Adamaoua Region.[2]

Dan Muura is an isolated dialect in the northeast of Banyo (Banyo commune, Mayo-Banyo department, Adamaoua Region).[2]

Blench (2004) considers the three varieties, Peere, Potopo (Kotopo), and Patapori, to be separate languages.
