Greenberg placed Samba Daka (Daka) within his
Adamawa proposal, as group G3, but Bennett (1983) demonstrated to general satisfaction that it is a
Benue–Congo language, though its placement within Benue–Congo is disputed. Blench (2010) considers it to be Benue–Congo. Boyd (ms), however, considers Daka an isolate branch within
Niger–Congo (Blench 2008).
Dong (Donga), though clearly Niger–Congo, is difficult to classify. There is no published data on
Gaa (Tiba), and
Taram (listed as a dialect of Daka by
Ethnologue) is only known from data collected in 1931 (Blench 2008). ==Names and locations==
