'''Nenzit Wikimedians User Group''' is a proposed [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia user group</tvar>|Wikimedia user group]] to promote Wikimedia projects in Nenzit ([[:w:Benue–Congo languages#Subdivisions|Central Nigerian]] or Platoid) languages, made up of the [[:w:Plateau languages|Plateau]], [[:w:Jukunoid languages|Jukunoid]] and [[:w:Kainji languages|Kainji]] constituent families. These languages make up a major part of the Nigerian [[:w:en:Middle Belt|Middle Belt]] numbering about 153 (''See'' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Platoid_languages Platoid languages template on Wikipedia]). These languages are spoken by people with a common socio-cultural background deeply rooted in the area natively known as the Nenzit region.
