Tumak (also known as Toumak, Tumag, Tummok, Sara Toumak, Tumac, and Dije) is an East Chadic language spoken by around 25,000 people in southwestern Chad. The language is similar to the Motun and Mawer languages. Some think they are different dialects of the same language.[1] Blench says they are different languages.[2]
