Who they are
The Ambo live in a single village in Taraba State, Nigeria, east of Baissa. They preserve their language, also called Ambo, among much larger peoples. Most follow traditional religions, and Christians are a minority. The community faces pressure to adopt the languages and cultures of the surrounding peoples.
