Bura language

Bura (also known as Burah, Burra, Bourrah, Bura-Pabir, Babir, Babur, Barburr, Mya Bura, Kwojeffa, Huve, Huviya) is a Chadic language spoken in North-eastern Nigeria by the Bura-Pabir people. Dialects include Pela, Bura Pela, Hill Bura, Hyil Hawul, Bura Hyilhawul, and Plain Bura. The language is closely related to Kilba, Cibak, Margi and a few other north-eastern Nigerian Languages.

Consonant clusters also occur among plosives/affricates, nasals, and fricatives.

In the 2010 Bura-English Dictionary, Roger Blench proposed an orthography similar to that of Hausa based on the Latin alphabet with the addition of the letters ɓ, ɗ, ə, and ƙ, as well as the following digraphs:
