The Kim languages are a small group of the Mbum–Day languages of the provisional Savanna family, spoken in southern Chad.[1]
There are three languages:
Goundo is nearly extinct, and Besme has only a thousand or so speakers.
The Kim languages were labeled "G14" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal.
