The Kujargé language is spoken in seven villages in Chad near Jebel Mirra (11°45′N22°15′E) and in Sudan in villages scattered along the lower Wadi Salih and Wadi Azum. It is estimated to have about 1000 speakers (as of 1983). The name is derived from Sudanese Arabic kujur "sorcerer", because of their reputation for witchcraft.
