The Fer language, also called Kara, is spoken by some five thousand people in the northern Central African Republic near the Sudan and Chad borders, in the region known as Dar Runga. While the Ethnologue lists it as unclassified, Pascal Boyeldieu describes it as belonging to the Bongo-Bagirmi languages, a subgroup of the Central Sudanic branch of Nilo-Saharan.
