The Runga are an ethnic group in Chad as well as the Central African Republic in whom they are found in the north and northeast of the country.

Organization

The Runga are distinguished[1] between the Runga who speak Arabic and the Runga-Aiki who speak Aiki (and often also Arabic). Despite this linguistic distinction, there is a great cultural homogeneity.[1]
