Jukun (Njikum) or more precisely Jukun Takum is a Jukunoid language of Cameroon used as a trade language in Nigeria. Though there are only a few thousand native speakers and only a dozen in Nigeria (as of 2000) it is spoken as a second language in Nigeria by tens of thousands (40000 reported in 1979).The name Jukun is a cover term for several related Jukunoid languages such as the much-more-numerous Jukun Wapan.
