language of this area. Although many languages are spoken here, Yulu is still to be reckoned with - though Kreish was the language chosen later after the Rejaf Conference to be the language of instruction in this area... Although the Kara language is different from either Yulu or Binga... the Kara have to still use Yulu as a lingua franca because, administratively, they form a unit with the Binga the immediate
neighbours of the Yulu. These three tribes are so much linguistically and culturally integrated today that the common nomenclature by which other tribes call them is 'Yulu'... Yulu was not one of the languages recommended by the Rejaf Language Conference."
