Gule, also known as Anej, Fecakomodiyo, and Hamej[1], is an extinct language of Sudan. It is generally classified as one of the Koman languages. It is poorly attested, and Hammarström judges the evidence to be insufficient for classification as Koman.[4] Others however accept it as Koman, though too poorly attested to be much help in reconstructing that family.[5]
The language was spoken by the inhabitants of Jebel Gule in Blue Nile State, Sudan.[4] Speakers had shifted to Arabic by the late 20th century.
