Comment:
Kofa (1965-kso) = Vulnerable (60 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (100% of Bata-speaking respondents reported speaking Bata with their parents, their children, and in their immediate community.)

(see Fakuade et al. 2003)

Kofa [kso] is listed in E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 as a separate language, with the comment that it is “Reportedly a separate language from Bura-Pabir [bwr]”. It is correct that it is distinct from Bura-Pabir [bwr] but already Meek, Charles K. 1931: 118-121 had data from Kofa and shows that they speak the same language as Malabu, i.e., Bata [bta]. See also: Bata [bta], Bura-Pabir [bwr].
