Kim is a member of the Mbum-Day branch of the Atlantic-Congo language family. It is spoken by about 15,000 speakers in southwestern Chad, particularly along the Chari river downsteam of Ndjamena, and also in Bongor and Ndjamena, in the department of Mayo-Boneye in the region of Mayo-Kenni Est.
Dialects of Kim include Garap, Gerep, Kolop and Kosop. They differ significantly from each other, and are considered as separate languages by some scholars. Kim is written with the Latin alphabet, and there is a translation of the Bible in the language, which started in 1958, and was finished 2015.
