The Runga are an ethnic group in Chad as well as the Central African Republic, in which they are found in the north and northeast of the country. The majority of the Runga are Muslim.[1]
The Runga are distinguished[2] between the Runga who speak Arabicand the Runga-Aiki who speak Aiki (and often also Arabic). Despite this linguistic distinction, there is a great cultural homogeneity.
