The Fer language, also called Kara, is spoken by some five thousand people in the northern Central African Republic near the Sudan and Chad borders, in the region known as Dar Runga. While the Ethnologue lists it as unclassified, Pascal Boyeldieu describes it as belonging to the Bongo-Bagirmi languages, a subgroup of the Central Sudanic branch of Nilo-Saharan.

Fer Graafland is from Rotterdam, Holland, and he sings for a hobby, and is developing his voice, so he may some day come to the United States and get a recording contract.
Fer has made several cds, but these love songs are the best, by far right now...and right in time for Christmas lovers everywhere.
Love is the universal language, and Fer sings love very well...Thanks, Alice for angel graphic.God Bless All Tonight.
The Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web and print publication of SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a Christian linguistic service organization which studies lesser-known languages primarily to provide the speakers with native language biblical texts.
It contains statistics for 6,809 languages (2000 edition) and gives the number of speakers, location, dialects, linguistic affiliations, availability of the Bible, etc. It is currently the most comprehensive existing language inventory, along with the Linguasphere Register.
The neutrality of Ethnologue as a scientific institution is sometimes disputed, particularly in areas of language classification associated with the Bible and Abrahamic religion.
