Kadaru is spoken by about 25,000 people in southern Sudan. In particular, it is spoken between the towns of Dilling and Dalami in the Kadaru Hills in the north of the Nuba Mountains in the northwest of South Kordofan State. It belongs to the Northern Luo branch of Western Nilotic languages, which are part of the Eastern Sudanic language family.
Kadaru is also known as Kadaro, Kadero, Kaderu, Kodhin, Kodhinniai, Kodoro or Tamya. There are six clans of Kadaru speakers, each of which lives on a different hill and has its own dialect: Kadaru (Kodur), Kururu (Tagle), Kafir (Ka'e), Kurtala (Ngokra), Dabatna (Kaaral) and Kuldaji (Kendal).
There are ways to write Kadaru with the Arabic, Old Nubian and Latin alphabets.

The wild animals I know of, and there are those which I do not know of. I only hear people talk about them. There are gazelles; there are antelopes and porcupines. I do not know them all, I only hear about them.
