Who they are
The Yashi live mainly in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, in the local government areas of Wamba and Akwanga. They call themselves Hasha, the name the community prefers and also the name of their language; Yashi is the Hausa adaptation of this name. Most follow traditional religions. There is a Christian minority and a smaller proportion who follow Islam.
