The North Bauchi languages (also called the B.2 West Chadic or Warji languages) are a branch of West Chadic languages that are spoken in Bauchi State, northern Nigeria.

An extensive survey of the North Bauchi (Warji) languages had been done by Skinner (1977).[1]

Culturally, North Bauchi language speakers are unique for their chestharp, a fusion of the arched harp with the chest bow.[2]
