Ga (also known as Ganda, Ga'andu, Mokar, Makwar) is a Biu-Mandara language spoken by about 43,000 people in the Gombi Local Government Area in Adamawa state of Nigeria. Many speakers live across the length and breadth of Nigeria. It has three dialects, Ga'anda, Gabun and Boga; Blench (2006) classifies Gabun is a separate language.[2]
