Kanga is classified as Severely Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

Kanga is a Nilo-Saharan language of the Kadu branch spoken in South Kordofan, Sudan.

The Kufa-Lima dialect is spoken in Bilenya, Dologi, Lenyaguyox, Lima, Kilag, Kufa, Mashaish, and Toole villages, with Toole as the central village.[2]

A preliminary grammar of the Kufa-Lima variety (termed "Kufo") has been published recently.[3]

A phonological description of the Kufa-Lima variety (termed "Kufo") has been developed,[4] and the vowel inventory has been investigated with acoustic phonetic evidence.[5]
