The sixty or so Kainji languages are spoken by about 900,000 people in Nigeria. Four of the largest are Tsuvadi (150,000), Cishingini and Tsishingini (100,000 each)—all from the Kambari branch; and Clela (= C'lela, Lela) (100,000), of the Duka branch.
The most divergent of the Kainji languages are Resh, Laru, and Lopa. Subclassification of the other branches is not yet clear. A division between East and West Kainji is no longer maintained.
