The two Katla languages form a small language family in the Nuba Hills of Sudan. Part of an erstwhile Kordofanian proposal, they are of uncertain position within the Niger-Congo family. They do not share the characteristic morphology of Niger-Congo, such as the noun-class system. Thus Roger Blench classifies them as a divergent branch of Niger-Congo outside the Atlantic-Congo core. A similar situation holds for another Kordofanian family, Rashad; these are not closely related to Katla.
