The subgroups of the Atyap ethnolinguistic group as suggested by Meek (1931:2) include the Katab (Atyap) proper, Morwa (Asholyio), Ataka (Atakad) and Kagoro (Agworok) which he deems may be regarded as a single tribe and each division/unit as a sub-tribe because they speak a common tongue and show cultural trait uniformity. McKinney (1983:290), thereafter, opined that Kaje (Bajju) should likewise be included with the above, rather than with the Kamantan (Anghan), Jaba (Ham), Ikulu (Bakulu) and Kagoma (Gwong) due to the linguistic and cultural similarities they share with the 'Katab' group, adding that Jaba and Kagoma seem farther away linguistically and culturally to the aforementioned. The clans may refer to further grouping within each subgroup.
