Hiamnda, the language of the Jaba people located in the central part of the Middle Belt area of Nigeria. It is spoken by a myriad of Jaba people groups who, by and large, may speak the main hiam Ham language, but may have vernacular variations of the language. Less than a decade ago, Hiamnda was on the verge of total obliteration, even though there are approximately a million of Hamnda in existence; this downturn of lingual fortunes for this language is not too far removed from the social, but vicious malady that has afflicted most, if not all, languages in the technological age, namely cultural warfare. This cultural warfare continues to leave in its wake “corpses” of dead languages; one that cease to exist either to none use or that they have been so adulterated to the point that such languages or that they have such adulteration that of necessity leads to total absorption into some of their surrounding major language or its demise. This was the case with Hiamnda and the Hausa language and more. A new phenomenon called the “Yan Baraki generation” sauntered into this already caustic mix; this particular group of Jabans you that were now exposed to not only the Hausa language, but also the English the “yan baraki generation” viewed as superior to both Hausa and Hiamnda languages. Furthermore, many of the “yan baraki generation” based on the fact that their parents’ generation did not encourage them to speak the language, eventually start to not even learn or speak the language and aided by parental resources all dumped toward their academic pursuits in English, the language of enlightenment and advancement, but to the total neglect of their own native language. These hard time helped to render Hiamnda not only impotent, but ready to fall the dangerous cliff of oblivion. Lryak Kyuk Bgya Tseng Jok’o Di Hiamnda is a third edition of word lists that have been published in Hiamnda by me.
