Many Ura still speak their language but have also adopted Hausa.  There are resources available in Hausa but none available in Fungwa.  Because of their small size, it would be possible for an Engaging Church to work with several small people groups in the area.   They could partner with Kamuku churches in reaching the Local Government Area.
