Chakato language

Jorto is a putative Afro-Asiatic language claimed to be spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria, and is currently listed in Ethnologue. It was introduced in an ethnographic study by C. G. Ames in 1934. It has now been retired by Glottolog, based on fieldwork evidence presented by Roger Blench that suggests that there is no independent evidence that Jorto ever existed. On the other hand, a request to retire Jorto's ISO 639-3 jrt code was rejected because a team in Nigeria surveyed a region, that although they call their language as "Jakattoe", the "Jorto" is used by a neighboring people group. But the status of jrt code itself is later temporary changed to "Deprecated" in later 2020. In Jan 15, 2021, the SIL restored the jrt and changed its reference name to Jakattoe. ==References==
