Dadiya (Daadiya, Loodiya) is one of the Savanna languages of northeastern Nigeria.

Distribution

Dadiya settlements were originally located in and around the Muri Mountains.[3]

Muri Mountains (northern ridge, in settlements such as LɔɔKwila, LɔɔFiyo, LɔɔBwarɛ, and LɔɔKulakuli)
Loo Basin (such as in LɔɔTip and LɔɔFaa)
south of the Muri Mountains (settlements in the foothills, such as Tunga and Bollere)

Today, Dadiya is spoken in Bambam, where the Emir of Dadiya lives in one of its wards.
