The 3rd Adamawa Conference provides a forum for presenting and
discussing recent studies on approximately 80–90 languages spoken
primarily in eastern Nigeria, northern Cameroon, the Central African
Republic, and southern Chad. These languages, spoken by more than
600,000 people, belong to the Adamawa branch of the Niger-Congo
language family.
The conference welcomes researchers, students, linguists,
sociolinguists, language advocates, language developers, and community
leaders interested in the languages, cultures, and histories of the
said linguistic groups. Through paper presentations, discussions, and
networking opportunities, participants will explore recent and
emerging research on Adamawa languages from varying perspectives,
including structural linguistics, comparative and historical
linguistics, sociolinguistics, language vitality and endangerment,
language documentation, language technology, lexicography, literacy
and community-based language initiatives.
Join us as we celebrate the rich linguistic heritage of the Adamawa
region, exchange ideas, build partnerships, and contribute to a deeper
understanding of the Adamawa languages and the communities that speak
them.
