Gule language

Extinct Komuz language of Sudan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gule, also known as Anej, Fecakomodiyo, and Hamej,[1] is an extinct language of Sudan. Although it has been classified as one of the Koman languages, Zamponi (2025) unambiguously identifies Gule as a language isolate.[4] It is poorly attested, and Hammarström judges the evidence to be insufficient for classification as Koman.[5] Others however accept it as Koman, though too poorly attested to be much help in reconstructing that family.[6]
