Cicipu linguistics

As yet there is almost no published material dedicated to the Cicipu language. However the language is briefly mentioned in a number of more general works ( usually referred to as Ac(h)ipawa or Ac(h)ipanci - see the separate discussion on the language name). There are also a few unpublished papers and presentations which can be viewed or downloaded here. You are free to cite these, but please be aware that they may change or be removed at any time.

Some people may also find the more general West Kainji bibliography useful.
