Alumu is a Plateau language spoken by approximately 7,000 people in Nassarawa State, Nigeria. It has lost the nominal affix system characteristic of the Niger–Congo family.

Two varieties, Alumu and Tesu, differ only in intonation. Akpondu is more divergent.

It is unclear whether or not vowel nasality is phonemic in Alumu.
