Miship, or Chip, is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria. Doka is a dialect. Blench lists the two dialects Longmaar and Jiɓaam. The Chip people are found in Pankshin LGA. People The traditional occupation of Chip people is farming. The people worship Na'an (God). Oral tradition states that they migrated from Kanem-Bornu to their present homeland with other tribes, Ngas, Mupun, and Mwaghavul. Most Chip names are unisex, so in order to differentiate a man from a woman, the prefix Na is added to the woman's name and Da is added to the man's. For example, for a man and a woman both sharing Nandi, the man would be Danan, and the woman Nanan.
