Tags: Language.

The Asa (Aasá) language commonly rendered Aasax was spoken by the Asa people of Tanzania. The language is extinct; ethnic Assa in northern Tanzania remember only a few words they overheard their elders use and none have ever used it themselves. Little is known of the language; what is recorded was probably Aasa lexical words used in a register of Maasai rather like the mixed language Mbugu. Asa is usually classified as Cushitic most closely related to Kw’adza.
