The Nyala language, also known as Dar Fur, Darfur Daju, Beke, Dagu, Daju Ferne, and Fininga, is an Eastern Sudanic language of Darfur, Sudan, one of three closely related languages in the area called "Daju" (the other two being the Daju Mongo language and the Sila language). It is spoken near Nyala, the capital of South Darfur province by the Dar Fur Daju people. There are two divergent dialects, Nyala and Lagowa.
