Danglong or Donglang[1] (Hausa exonym: Damlawa) is a critically endangered Jarawan Bantu language spoken in Danglong village, Bauchi State, Nigeria.[2]
It is spoken by a few elderly individuals in Danglong village, which is located just north of Yankari Game Reserve in Bauchi State. A short word list collected by Roger Blench in 2019 revealed that its closest relative may be Zhar.[1]
