Tokano is a Trans-New Guinea language spoken by approximately 6000 people in the Goroka District of the Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It is also known as Gamuso, Tokama, Yufiyufa, Zaka, Zuhozuho and Zuhuzuho.
There are currently very few vernacular publications. A collection of folk tales translated by John Guhise was produced by SIL in 1977,[1][2] and there are also portions of the Bible available in Tokano.
