Uhami is an Edoid language of Isua, the headquarters of Akoko South-East LGA in Ondo State. Roger Blench's Atlas of Nigerian Languages (2020) gives Isua as another name, places it in what it calls 'Akoko–South and Owo LGAs', classifies it as North-Western Edoid, and cites 5,498 speakers in 1963. Wikipedia gives Uhami as the native name of Akoko South-East, and Glottolog places it with Iyayu in the Osse group of North-Western Edoid.
