| has gloss | eng: The Kujargé language is spoken in seven villages in Chad near Jebel Mirra and in Sudan in villages scattered along the lower Wadi Salih and Wadi Azum. It is estimated to have about 1000 speakers . The language is classified by Paul Newman as a member of the Mubi subgroup of Chadic; however, Lionel Bender argues that its classification is still uncertain, on the basis that it shows much fewer roots in common with the other Mubi languages than they do with each other. The name is derived from Sudanese Arabic kujur "sorcerer", because of their reputation for witchcraft. The speakers mainly live by hunting and gathering. |
