| '''Kaayana''' is a monocentric language primarily spoken in the Western and Southern [[Ajax#Scipia|Scipia]]. It is the native language of the [[Amayana people]], populating the [[Karana]] and [[Imo]] basins, which roughly corresponds to the modern territory of [[Itayana]]. The language shares several traits with nearby {{wp|Yoruboid languages|Yoruboid}} and {{wp|Afroasiatic languages|Central Scipian}} language families; however, it is not generally assigned to either of those families, instead being considered the only living representative of its own Karana-Imo or Kaayana family. Several dialects have been classified.
