Kaayana is a monocentric language primarily spoken in the Western and Southern 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 Yoruboid and 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.
