Longuda is a Niger–Congo language of Nigeria. Joseph Greenberg counted it as a distinct branch, G10, of his Adamawa family. Boyd (1989) assigned it a branch within Waja–Jen. When Blench (2008) broke up Adamawa, Longuda was made a branch of the Bambukic languages.
The current number of speakers is unknown. Ethnologue cites an SIL figure of 32,000 from 1973.[1]
Variants of the name 'Longuda' include Languda, Longura, Nunguda, Nungura, Nunguraba.
