Cara (Chara, Fachara), also called Teriya after the village it is spoken in, is a small Plateau language of central Nigeria. Cara is spoken by about 3,000 people in Teriya village, Bassa, Plateau State, Nigeria.[2]

Ethnologue places Cara in Central Plateau. The assignment to Beromic follows Blench (2008).
