Mada language

Mada is a regionally important language in Nasarawa and southern Kaduna States of Middle Belt, Nigeria, with many dialects. It is a highly tonal language. A translation of the New Testament into the language was finished in 1999.[2] Nunku is apparently a dialect of Mada rather than of Gbantu.

Not to be confused with Maɗa language.
