The North Bauchi languages (also called the B.2 West Chadic or Warji languages) are a branch of West Chadic languages that are spoken in Bauchi State, northern Nigeria.
An extensive survey of the North Bauchi (Warji) languages had been done by Skinner (1977).
Culturally, North Bauchi language speakers are unique for their chestharp, a fusion of the arched harp with the chest bow.
