Kanga is a Kadu language spoken in Kordofan.

Kufo, Abu Sinun, Chiroro, Krongo Abdullah, and Kanga proper are dialects.

The Kufa-Lima dialect is spoken in Bilenya, Dologi, Lenyaguyox, Lima, Kilag, Kufa, Mashaish, and Toole villages, with Toole as the central village.[1]

A preliminary grammar of the Kufa-Lima variety (termed "Kufo") has been published recently.[2]
