Taram is a poorly documented language of Nigeria, only attested in a publication from 1931. It has traditionally been considered a dialect of Daka, but appears to be more divergent than that (Blench 2008, 2011).

Meek (1931) reported that Taram was spoken by the Daka living around the confluence of the Taraba River and the rivers Kam and Yim.[2]
