Miship, or Chip, is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria. Doka is a dialect.[1] Blench lists the two dialects Longmaar and Jiɓaam.[2]
The Chip people are found in Pankshin LGA.[3]
People
The traditional occupation of Miship people is farming. The people call themselves as well as their abode, Miship while outsiders wrongly call them and also their abode, Chip. Oral tradition states that they migrated from Kanem-Bornu to their present homeland with other tribes, Ngas, Mupun, and Mwaghavul.[4] Most Miship names are unisex, so in order to differentiate a man from a woman, the contracted form is used i.e. the prefix Na is added to the root word of the woman's name and Da is added to the root word of the man's. For example, for a man and a woman both sharing: 1. Nandi, the man would be Danan, and the woman Nanan. 2. Denlong, the man would be Daden, and the woman Naden. 3. Shakaham = Dasha/Nasha.
