Amdang Biltine (autonym:
sìmí amdangtí) is a language closely related to
Fur, which together constitute a branch of the
Nilo-Saharan family. It is mainly spoken in Chad north of
Biltine, and sporadically elsewhere in
Ouaddaï. There are also small colonies of speakers in
Darfur near Woda'a and Fafa, and in
Kordofan in the Abu Daza district and at Magrur north of Bara. Most of the ethnic group now speaks
Arabic.
