Kaba proper is a Bongo–Bagirmi language of Chad and the Central African Republic. It is one of several local languages that go by the names Kaba and Sara. There are three ISO codes, which Ethnologue acknowledges may be the same thing.

The Laka Lau, who live on the Benue River in Nigeria, speak a language closely related to Kaba. They live alongside the Win Lau (formerly Lau Habe), who are Jukunoid speakers.[3]
