Cibak (variously rendered Chibuk, Chibok, Chibbak, Chibbuk, Kyibaku, Kibbaku, Kikuk) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by about 200,000 who are majorly Kibaku people in Nigeria.[1]
Cibak is spoken in Askira/Uba, Chibok and Damboa local government areas in the south of Borno State in Nigeria.[2] The majority of speakers are Christians (about 92 %);[3] most of the schoolgirls abducted in the 2014 Chibok kidnapping by Boko Haram were Cibak-speakers and Christians.[4]
