Other comments: Zul has a traditional vigesimal system. Zul is spoken in some fifteen villages in Bauchi State, Bauchi and Toro LGAsː Zul
, Zulgami
, Dafasu, 
Nasira
, Tudun Wada Baraya, Vum, 
Kadage, Nahuda Tintin, Tintin, Unguwar Rogo, Hakayashi, Bimiya
, Balkeri
, Kobonka, Ungwan Wombai". Zul was reported in older sources to be dying out and to have very few speakers. However, this appears to be wrong. There are both more speakers and the language more lively than previously thought. The number of speakers varies considerably from one source to another, but is probably about 4000.
