Sheni-Ziriya language
Ziriya (Jiriya) and Sheni (Shaini) constitute a Kainji language of Nigeria.The earliest reference to the Sheni language is in Temple (1922), who links the Sheni with the Srubu and mentions their presence in Dan Galadima District of the Zaria Emirate.[4] The word given by Shimizu's informants differ from one another, perhaps due to faulty recall.Shimizu's informant Sarkin Abubakar Yakubu is probably the remaining speaker of the Ziriya language.[6] Sheni has a distinctive plural morphology that suggests influence from an unknown but typologically quite different language.
