Gule language

Extinct Komuz language of Sudan

Not to be confused with Gulay language.

Gule, also known as Anej, Fecakomodiyo, and Hamej, is an extinct language of Sudan. It is generally classified as one of the Koman languages. It is poorly attested, and Hammarström judges the evidence to be insufficient for classification as Koman.[3] Others however accept it as Koman, though too poorly attested to be much help in reconstructing that family.[4]
