Amdang is a language closely related to Fur spoken in Chad by about 5,000 people, while Ethnologue places the number in 2000 at 41,000. It is mainly spoken in Chad north of Biltine, and sporadically elsewhere in Ouaddaï. There are also small colonies of speakers in Darfur near Woda'a and Fafa, and in Kordofan in the Abu Daza district and at Magrur north of Bara. Most of the ethnic group now speaks Arabic. It is also termed Mimi, Mima, or Biltine.

- Amdang is a language closely related to Fur spoken in Chad by about 5,000 people, while Ethnologue places the number in 2000 at 41,000. It is mainly spoken in Chad north of Biltine, and sporadically elsewhere in Ouaddaï. There are also small colonies of speakers in Darfur near Woda'a and Fafa, and in Kordofan in the Abu Daza district and at Magrur north of Bara. Most of the ethnic group now speaks Arabic. It is also termed Mimi, Mima, or Biltine. (The term "Mimi" is also applied, however, to several other languages of the area). Amdang is one of the two Fur languages, which together constitute a branch of Nilo-Saharan. The Ethnologue regards "Mimi" as possibly distinct from "Amdang"; however, the source they quote in support of the existence of Mimi (Doornbos & Bender 1983) regards the two as identical, seeing "Amdang" as simply a name given to "Mimi" in the Biltine area.
- Amdang es una lengua muy relacionada con el idioma Fur. En 1983 había unos 5.000 hablantes de amdang en Chad. Principalmente se habla en el norte de Biltine, y esporádicamente en otros lugares de Wadai. Existen también pequeñas colonias de hablantes en Darfur, cerca de Woda'a y Fafa, y en Kordofán en el distrito de Abu Daza y en Magrur, al norte de Bara. La mayor parte del grupo étnico habla en la actualidad el árabe. También se conoce al amdang como Mimi, Mima, o Biltine. (El término "Mimi" también se aplica a otras lenguas de la zona). El amdang es una de las dos lenguas fur, que juntas constituyen una rama de la familia nilosahariana. El Ethnologue considera que el "Mimi" podría ser distinto del "Amdang"; sin embargo, la fuente que citan para apoyar la existencia de un mimi separado del amdang (Doornbos & Bender 1983) las considera idénticas, siendo "Amdang" tan sólo el nombre que recibe el "Mimi" en la zona de Biltine.
