Gule, also known asAnej,Fecakomodiyo, andHamej,[1] is an extinct language ofSudan. Although it has been classified as one of theKoman languages, Zamponi (2025) unambiguously identifies Gule as alanguage isolate.[4] It is poorly attested, and Hammarström judges the evidence to be insufficient for classification as Koman.[5] Others however accept it as Koman, though too poorly attested to be much help in reconstructing that family.[6]
The language was spoken by the inhabitants of Jebel Gule inBlue Nile State,Sudan.[5] Speakers had shifted to Arabic by the late 20th century.
