It aims at finding out the number of languages widely spoken in Mubi Local Government Area ofAdamawa state. The study collected data from primary sources through the use of Questionnaire and the researchers' observation, as well as secondary, sources. The study found that there are both indigenous and non-indigenous languages spoken in Mubi Local Government Area ofAdamawa state. The indigenous languages include: Fali, Gudey Burn, Fulfddc, Huba, and Bata language; while the non-indig enous languages are: Margi, tybo, and Hausa language.
