Kanuri-Tubu

(also Kanuri-Teda, Kanuri), a group of languages spoken in northeastern Nigeria and the republics of Niger and Chad. The number of speakers does not exceed 3 million (1970, estimate), most of whom (2. 7 million) are Kanuri. Typo-logically, the Kanuri-Tubu languages are synthetic (partly inflectional). Kanuri-Tubu has five tones, which have grammatical and semantic meaning. The morphology is distinguished by a well-developed system of verbal inflection and by a regular and irregular conjugation system, which has an abundant variety of word-form derivations. The word order is subject-object-predicate.
