Daza or (in Hausa) Dazawa is listed by Blench (2006) as a Chadic language within the Bole group,[1] spoken in a few villages of Darazo LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria. It was confirmed to exist in 2021.[2] The language is nearly extinct with only elderly speakers speaking the language. Native speakers have shifted to Hausa.
