The Marghi people (Margi) are an ethnic group in Nigeria, primarily residing in the states of Adamawa (Askira) and Borno (Askira Uba). They have a population estimated at 360,000 and communicate using the Marghi language. Despite having their own language, the Marghi people are usually bilingual, sometimes even trilingual. In Borno, they speak Kanuri, while in Adamawa, they speak Fulfulde, both of which are dominant languages in their respective states.[1]: 271–274 [2]: 213–216 [3]
