Kim of southern Chad is an Mbum language spoken by 15,000 people. It was once mistakenly classified as Chadic, and called Masa, a Chadic name.

There is strong dialectical divergence; Blench considers Garap (Éré), Gerep (Djouman, Jumam), Kolop (Kilop, Kolobo), and Kosop (Kwasap, Kim) to be distinct languages.
