Hdi is a Chadic language spoken by about 29,000 people mainly in northern Cameroon, and also in northeastern Nigeria. The majority of Hdi speakers live in the Mokolo area in Mayo-Tsanaga Department in the Far North Region of Cameroon, particularly in the town of Tourou. Hdi speakers in Nigeria are found mainly in the towns of Mubi and Yola in Adamawa State.
Hdi is also known as Hdi, Hedi, Hide, Xadi, Xdi, Xedi, Xədi, Turu-Hide or Tur. Native speakers call it xdí or gwáɗ-á xdí. It is closely related to Mabas, which is spoken in the same area. It is written with the Latin alphabet.
