Kw’adza (Qwadza) is an extinct Afroasiatic language formerly spoken in Tanzania in the Mbulu District. The last speaker died sometime between 1976 and 1999. It is poorly attested and apart from perhaps being close to Aasax its classification is not certain; although it has a large number of identifiably Cushitic roots the numerals itame ‘one’ and be’a ~ mbɛa ‘two’ for example suggest a connection with Hadza.
