==Loanwords== Chadic languages contain many Nilo-Saharan loanwords from either the [[Songhay languages|Songhay]] or [[Maban languages|Maban]] branches, pointing to early contact between Chadic and Nilo-Saharan speakers as Chadic was migrating west.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ehret |first1=Christopher |title=The Nilo-Saharan background of Chadic |journal=Studies in African Linguistics |date=5 December 2006 |volume=35 |pages=56β66 |doi=10.32473/sal.v35i0.107316 |s2cid=195404449 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Although [[Adamawa languages]] are spoken adjacently to Chadic languages, interaction between Chadic and Adamawa is limited.<ref>Blench, Roger. 2012.
