Tarjumo is a Kanuri liturgical language of Nigeria. Also referred to as "Classical Kanembu," it is a modernized form of Old Kanembu from c. 1400 CE and is unintelligible with modern Kanembu or Kanuri.[1] [2] The name derives from the Arabic verb tarjama (ترجم), meaning "to translate." It is primarily used by Muslim scholars for exegesis of the Qur'an (tafsir) and other Arabic texts.
