Nigbo is an extinct Plateau language of Nigeria. It was spoken near Agameti on the Fadan Karshi-Wamba road near Sanga LGA, Kaduna State.[1] The language, listed in Blench (2012) and (2019), is not reported in Ethnologue or Glottolog. It is presumably an Alumic language based on its proximity to Akpondu, a language closely related to Alumu and Tesu.[2]
The extinct undocumented languages Akpondu and Babur (Bəbər) were also spoken in nearby villages of Nigbo and Babur, respectively.[2]
