  "The Ningye language is spoken by perhaps 4-5000 speakers at a maximum. Nonetheless, the language does not seem unduly threatened; during the language elicitation session it seemed that many of the children present were able to produce the required lexical items simultaneously with the adults."

"The main village of the Ningye is Ningeshen Kurmi, some 19 km. south of Fadan Karshi on the Akwanga road. There are three other settlements, Akwankwan, Kobin and Ningeshen Dutse due north of Ningeshen Kurmi but these are all small."
