Karanga is a Maban language spoken in Chad. Its speakers are divided into four groups, each of which has its own dialect: the Karanga (Kurunga), Kashmere (Kachmere), Bakha (Baxa, Bakhat) AKA Fala (Faala), and Koniéré (Konyare, Kognere) AKA Moyo (Mooyo). Karanga is closely related to the Masalit language.[3]
