Mburku or Burku is an Afro-Asiatic language belonging to the West-Chadic subgroup of the Chadic languages.[1] It is estimated to be spoken by 7,000-10,000 people in Miya District of Ganjuwa LGA, Bauchi State, Nigeria.[2] Although it is still referred to as Mburku in academic sources such as Glottolog, the speakers prefer their language be called Burku.[2] Ethnologue classifies Burku as a stable language not in danger of extinction.
