Tita or "Hoai Petel" is an unclassified Benue–Congo language of Nigeria.,^[2] it is mainly spoken in the states of Taraba and Plateau.^[3]

The Tita language has no existing dialects, and thus no alternate dialect names. There is only one recorded people groups speaking it as a primary language.

In the year 2000 the number of native speakers was recorded at 3,400, however some sources put the number higher at 6,600 (likely a recent estimate), which could be the case due to the population boom in Africa, and especially in countries like Nigeria.^{[citation needed]}
